Please Pray for Javed Hashmi
Javed Hashmi, the patriot and legend is as I write this post fighting for his life. Javed Hashmi suffered a brain hemorrhage and a subsequent stroke today and his condition is stable at present.
This post serves as a heartfelt appeal to all Pakistanis inside and outside of Pakistan to pray for Hashmi saab, a man who has served Pakistan ahead of party and personal profit. Javed Hashmi is known to have faced the ire of the PMLN leadership owing to his independent views on issues which he has formed on the basis of what suited the supreme national interest and not party interests.
Hashmi saab is Pakistan’s most principled politician and a patriot par excellence. He is respected by people across the political divide for his intellect and independence and above all for his services to democracy. Hashmi saab was cruelly tortured during the Musharraf regime and has acted as a champion of democracy in Pakistan. In a nutshell he is the true son of the soil, he is a son of the Quaid and someone who Pakistan should be proud of.
I am heartened that Prime Minister Gilani has contacted the Hashmi family and offered his special plane for his shifting from Multan to Lahore and said that if needed the government was ready to send him abroad for better treatment.Moreover, the Prime Minister has also asked his personal physician to contact the doctors treating Hashmi saab to ensure the best medical treatment is given. I am aware that President Zardari has also got in touch with the Hashmi family.
From London, I am aware that Nawaz Sharif has contacted the Hashmi family too, though this not enough and I am aware that he has tasked Shahbaz Sharif to ensure the best treatment is offered.
Irrespective of politicial affiliations, all Pakistanis and readers are asked to pray for the health of the great Javed Hashmi today. So I beg of you all to say a prayer for Hashmi saab and pray for his health and recovery.
