Thank you for this valuable opportunity to pay tribute to Mohammad Asghar. It is a very sad day, with the horrifically sudden news that emerged yesterday of the death of Oscar.

I recall another day back in 2007 very clearly, when Oscar was elected to the same benches as me in the third Assembly. He was a conscientious member of our group in that Assembly, and as chair of that group, I always appreciated his contribution to our proceedings.

We remember many stories, and many of those stories have been told here this afternoon. But today is a very sad day, and we send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mohammad Asghar today. Rest in peace, Oscar.
