MILLIONS of people of this country would be in shock to read the statement attributed to Abdul Sattar Edhi, a well-known social worker, that appeared in a section of the press (May 4) about posting of police officials outside his house and the closure of his ambulance service in Lyari where the police operation was carried out some time ago.

Needless to mention here that Mr Edhi is a well-known social worker who has rendered unprecedented services to the humanity without any discrimination for years as recognised throughout the world. Closure of his  ambulance service is more condemnable. If he has opposed the Lyari operation like thousands of others, it was his right.
