Reference your editorial comments on daylight robbery of Edhi Welfare Trust office located in Kharadar Karachi. This is not first time, Edhi has been harassed or his offices robbed, even his ambulances fired upon in Karachi on numerous occasions. Have we forgotten how Edhi’s vehicles and workers were beaten up and prevented from collecting hides of sacrificial animals on Eid-ul-Azha during tenures of Musharraf and later under the coalition led government headed by AZ.
This is a city, where more policemen in uniform have been killed than criminals, target killers and extortion collectors. Everybody knows identity of killers, including those who have harassed workers of Edhi Welfare, the sole humanitarian charity organization dedicated to serving poor and destitute, not only in Karachi but in all other parts of the country and even abroad, whenever a natural disaster occurs. Yet political exigencies of ruling elite and members of corrupt establishment of this country, have chosen to turn a blind eye and failed to protect Edhi and his organization. Not a word has come from Imran Khan, nor from Canadian maverick who both have condemned Punjab government for harassing their friendly anchor, whom they consider part of their opposition, but opted to remain silent on Edhi, while giving daily give sermons of change and revolution. Why are custodians of religion or paid security services not condemning criminals involved in obstructing humanitarian services rendered by Edhi.
