By the time of his death, Edhi ran the largest social welfare organisation of its kind not only in Pakistan but possibly in South Asia. But Edhi made it very clear that he would have nothing to do with politics in Pakistan. ISLAMABAD: The death of philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi, on Friday at the age of 88, has robbed Pakistan of one its most beloved personalities. When Edhi was raising money for the victims of the Bangladesh cyclone, it was Bengali-speaking beggars who gave the most. Most people rely on Edhi more than they rely on the government machinery.
