I think we don’t need to find trivial faults in his story and magnify them as if he is a charlatan.
KARACHI: This is with reference to the brouhaha surrounding alleged exaggeration and half-truths by Greg Mortenson. As a nation, we love to focus on the negative. Even Edhi has not been able to escape controversy. I think we don’t need to find trivial faults in his story and magnify them as if he is a charlatan. Even if there is some exaggeration, the fact remains that he has made a difference in the lives of many people in this part of the world. And that’s certainly more than what most of us can claim to have done. I salute him.
