سینیٹر مشاہد اللہ خان کے انتقال کی خبر سن کر مجھے بے حد رنج ہوا۔میں ایک ایسے ثابت قدم، بہادر، جرات مند اور باوفا ساتھی سے محروم ہو گیا ہوں جو آئین کی سربلندی اور جمہوری قوتوں کی ایک بے باک آواز تھے۔اللہ تعالی انہیں جنت الفردوس میں جگہ عطا فرمائے اور لواحقین کو صبرِ جمیل دے۔آمین

The senior PML-N leader also was the chairperson of the Senate Standing Committee on Aviation and a member of the Council of Chairpersons and various other standing committees. He was also part of the parliamentary committees on Appointment of Chief Election Commissioner and Members of the Election Commission of Pakistan, Kashmir, and National Security.
Mushahidullah had remained a trusted comrade of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif since 1999. First appointed party information secretary and later made a senator in 2009, he also served as the party spokesperson for many years. The PML-N leader was also awarded a ticket to contest the upcoming Senate elections on a general seat.
