Khan | 8 years ago | Reply Better would be if Government announces to fix/portray Edhi Sb pictures and portraits on the walls in Schools, Colleges and government offices along with the pictures of Allama Iqbal and Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jannah. He is an indisputed hero of Pakistan like Quaidi Azam and Allama Iqbal and indeed a hero of the humanity as a whole...

NKAli | 8 years ago | Reply Alas Edhi Sahib has gone back to Allah Almighty. He will remain in our hearts and memories as Wali, Saint, or Angel of love, compassion and humanity. Where is the joy that was in the country during the time of Independence? The Quaid left us his legacy which is in tatters. Maulana Edhi showed us how to redeem it. Only time will tell whether the citizens of Pakistan are resilient and tenacious in their love for the country. Damn the politicians! Salams
