The Foreign Office inadvertently released on Saturday an obituary offering condolences on philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi’s demise, before retracting the statement.

“We are withdrawing the press release which was based on wrong information passed to this office. Inconvenience is regretted,” said a statement.

The richest poor man

The earlier statement, quoting Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, read, “Today, with the sad demise of legendary philanthropist Maulana Abdul Sattar Edhi, everyone in Pakistan, Pakistanis abroad and millions of others, are in mourning.”

It went on to add that “The iconic Edhi saheb was a soul who spent his whole life engaged in the noble cause of serving humanity. He lived for others.”

Edhi declines Zardari’s offer for overseas treatment

The philanthropist is in under treatment at a hospital in Karachi for kidney failure. Pakistanis around the world have expressed concern over his deteriorating health.

Social Media is a good tool but at the same time very dangerous. There was this post making rounds on social media including whatsapp that Edhi sahab has left us. I also received the message but as it was too late in the night so i waited for verification and when i Checked there was nothing at least on PDF and I was shocked because it is impossible not to see huge sea of condolences if any such thing happened. BUT it seems that foreign office guys immediately reacted and made statement in haste in an effort to show respect but it was very unprofessional not to verify before issuing such statements.

Yar yeh log kartey kya hain sara din?
Like smoke weed ?
When they need to issue statements they are silent and are no where to be found and when they decide to issue statements it's like they were high when they did it.
