Ay kaash, ke hum jeetay-ji logoon ki qadar karna seekh lain …
Mourning the loss of celebrated comedian and actor Moin Akhtar at his funeral on Saturday, Acting Administrator and District Coordination Officer (DCO) Karachi Muhammad Hussain Syed has announced that the man who brought laughter to the lives of millions will be immortalised in the city’s landscape, as the CDGK will name a major road or a park after the legendary actor.
Acknowledging that a simple road sign could not possibly be enough to show the city’s admiration and gratitude for Akhtar’s contributions to the country, Syed said on Saturday that the CDGK would take more steps to ensure that the memory of this extraordinary Pakistani prevailed for generations to come.
The DCO paid his respects on the sad occasion along side Malir Town Administrator Dr Mukhtar Palijo and Director Media Management Bashir Sadduzai. He also laid a floral wreath on Akhtar’s grave on behalf of the citizens of Karachi.
Syed said that Moin Akhtar was not only an exceptional actor, but a fine human being as well; adding that the late actor was truly a national treasure as well as well as one of Karachi’s most precious assets.
