The reporter who is from Express News, appeared to be informing his viewers of the details of tragic news from the grave of Pakistan’s most notable philanthropist, who passed away on July 8, aged 88.

Text displayed in Urdu on the screen says: “Karachi, inside the last resting place of the servant of humanity, Abdul Sattar Edhi.”

The grave itself had been dug some 25 years ago by the social activist in Edhi village in Karachi and is where he was buried following afternoon prayers on Friday.

Media networks in Pakistan have been providing round-the-clock coverage of the story since news emerged of Edhi’s death, but the Express News reporter chose to break new ground in a more tasteless way.

Executive news directer of the company apologized for the report.

Fahd Husain said the clip "violated all social and journalistic ethics and should not have gone on air."

Over 35,000 people gathered in Karachi for the funeral to bid the charity worker a final farewell.

Gag orders are the call of the day, and a 30 minute delay for all terrorist operations and no analysis or commentary before official statements are released.

I agree with you since he is brain dead already so why not to bury him physically too though not in that grave as the late Abdul Sattar Edhi dug himself up some twenty five years ago.

Gutter journalism.

Well this is just sickening and all time low for journalism.....for the great Edhi too. Don't these people have even an ounce of shame. Disgusting

Just hope any Indian journo does not get inspired and reports from a Funeral pyre.
