I STRONGLY disagree with the picture presented by Raza Ali Shah in his letter ‘Cataract Nation’ (April 12). He mentioned Abdul Sattar Edhi as his hero, he is the hero of every Pakistani, but while criticising Prime Minister Imran Khan for sit-ins (which were sponsored by his party members), Shah does not he realise that the man spent billions on the construction of Shaukat Khanum hospitals, a university and several other projects which have benefited us and countless others. These projects still need billions to run and maintain them.

Can’t Shah see the effort our former cricket captain and his new team have made in throwing the corrupt elite out of power?
