By doing so, people would prove that they truly loved Maulana Edhi and appreciate the invaluable humanitarian services rendered by him over the past six decades. Eminent scientist Dr.
Anwar Naseem said Maulana Edhi's services towards the cause of humanity was priceless and has no parallel in recent history. His name will remain alive in this context for a long time to come.
