KARACHI: Popular Pakistani singer Komal Rizvi has become the butt of ridicule and anger on Facebook after she posted on the social networking site a selfie with well- known social worker Abdul Sattar Edhi, who is seriously ill and under treatment in a hospital.
The selfies showing Rizvi smiling at the camera with a clearly distressed and unwell Edhi lying on the hospital bed has led to netizens lashing out at the singer on social media despite her attempts to defend her action.
Many felt that while it was laudable that Rizvi was in the forefront of charitable causes this Ramazan, her selfie with the sick Edhi was something which had gone too far.
Rizvi recently visited Edhi, who is under treatment and said to be very ill, and took selfies with the ailing man and his wife. She later posted them on Facebook.
She said the 90-year-old had dedicated his entire life to selfless service and charitable causes for this “thankless” nation and continues to do so ..
