Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah has declared 3-day mourning on death of Abdul Sattar Edhi. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has also announced 3-day mourning on the demise of renowned social worker.
Edhi has been nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize and appeared on the list again this year.
Edhi, head of Edhi foundation, collects donation for the flood affected victims in Sindh on 12 September 2011.
Edhi was born to a family of Muslim traders in Gujarat in British India and migrated to Pakistan after its creation in 1947. “He thought that this new Muslim nation would be a social welfare state,” his son Faisal said in a recent interview. But, when they got to Pakistan, he found “it was the exact opposite”.
