KARACHI, July 8 (APP): Eminent social worker Abdul Sattar Edhi
expired in Karachi on Friday night at the Sindh Institute of Urology
and Transplantation where he was under treatment since July 5.
An announcement to this effect was made by the son of legendary
social worker, Faisal Edhi.
Faisal said that the Namaz-i-Janaza of Sattar Edhi would be offered
on Saturday after Zuhr prayers at National Stadium Karachi at 1.30 p.m
here.
He said that the eminent social worker would be laid to rest at
Edhi Village where he (Edhi) had pointed out the place for his grave
some 25 years ago.
Faisal said that it was the will of his father that he be laid to
rest in the same dress which he was wearing at the time of death.
It was also his will that if any of his organs could be
transplanted to any needy, this be transplanted as he would feel happy,
he said.
However, due to Edhi’s age except for the cornea no organ could
be donated. The cornea of Edhi Saheb has been donated, Faisal added.
He appealed to the people to pray for the departed soul.
