Sattar Edhi

Published July 23, 2018

ALL and sundry pay rich tributes to Abdul Sattar Edhi for the selfless services he rendered for the welfare of humanity, and he deserves all and more of these accolade.

My question is that how many of his fans will come forward to help continue his mission. Will our ruling class ever think of allocating a portion of our national wealth for selfless services of the under privileged people to alleviate poverty and mitigate public woes.

Will the corrupt elements learn a lesson from Edhi’s services to think for a while and return the illegal money to the national kitty? There is a dire need that every patriotic Pakistani follow Edhi to help the needy humanity and help solve miseries of the people.
