Criticism

Although, Sain Kamal Khan Sherani is revered as an intellectual by his followers many see him as a land grabber. He has encroached upon acres of land belonging to the local Babar tribe in Zhob District using his political influence. The case was contested in Balochistan High Court which he lost and a vacation order was passed but still his family hasn't vacated the encroached land.

Death

In the first week of November, he was taken violently ill and for the last five days he hovered between life and death, every moment henceforth was a risk; when ultimately on 5 November 2010, the paragon of intellectual gentry and the greatest living fighter against obscurantism ceased to fight and gave in, and peacefully gone to sleep.
