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.

Express News................what did you expect
Express is better then Ary News...at least

I think the Owners of above channels won't have time watch their own channel
.
I used to keep Remote in my hand when while watching Indian / Pakistani news channels......
.
Pitch Voice goes down then sudden up,,, then all of sudden they bombard their viewers with Rock solid Advertisements...then again after some time Breaking news emerge from nowhere.
.
On the other hand, if you tune to BBC, NHK (Japan), DW (German), RT (Russian), CCTv (Chinese)......I set my Tv volume to 25....then i won't touch my remote again (while eating or doing other homely tasks)
 
.
Reminds me of the movie Peepli Live - channels will do anything for viewer attention.

What a fucking stupid moron, truly Edhi was a saint in a nation of 190 millions idiots.

What I said was harsh but I'm angry. I never met Edhi personally but feel like I lost someone close to me. Some idiots exploiting his death makes me angry.
