KARACHI: Legendary humanitarian Mualana Abdul Sattar Edhi’s lifelong dedication to charity and service was remembered on his 10th death anniversary during a commemorative event titled ‘Edhi Life and Humanity’ at the community space Mehar Ghar in Lyari on Wednesday.

Speaking on the occasion, Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) Chairperson Asad Iqbal Butt described Abdul Sattar Edhi as an “amazing personality whose sole mission was to provide relief and support to deserving and marginalised people”.
