00:00In today's review, we will discuss the life of Abdul Saktar Edhi in the light of historical facts and authentic references.
00:06We will explore these surprising and fascinating initiatives that might otherwise remain hidden from our eyes.
00:13Are.
00:14This is not a conventional story but an opportunity to delve deeper into the journey of a man who
00:20Single-handedly he laid the foundation for the prosperity of an entire community. So let's begin this journey.
00:27Well, let's start with a fact that is truly shocking. Violence is no ordinary number.
00:34No, it is the total number of pairs of clothes owned by the person who had purchased the entire
00:39Revolution in the welfare system of the country
00:41I have given up, just think about it, two pairs of clothes for myself and a complete kingdom for others.
00:47And this is what makes this tremendous praise of his life, on the one hand extreme simplicity and caste
00:56Khurbat and on the other side
00:58His tireless efforts created an astonishing logistics empire of prosperity and prosperity.
01:07Guinness World Record of more than eighteen hundred ambulances, rehabilitation of fifty thousand orphan children, twenty thousand abandoned children
01:15Giving life to children and educating forty thousand children and the most amazing thing is that all this is going on.
01:22It was solely based on the personal donations of ordinary citizens, without any government aid, just on sympathy.
01:30Mabni is this great and prosperous Sultanate and Farid
01:44This passion was born at a very young age.
02:14And then in 1965, he married Balkeez Bano, who was also a nurse. One small step truly made a difference.
02:22I fell in love with the head of a very big kingdom.
02:44He gave birth to the policy of serving the masses. No caste, creed, or ethnicity, just humanity.
02:50Now here's a very interesting twist to the date.
02:54After receiving immense public support through fruitful work in the streets, a question arises in the mind.
03:01Can a true and honest social worker succeed in our traditional politics?
03:07What happened when he challenged the traditional political system?
03:11In the 1960s, Edhi Sahib entered the arena of Pakistani politics that we all know.
03:18That's how cruel and ruthless one can be.
03:21The 1962 Mithadar elections were truly remarkable. There was a very powerful Azad.
03:28On one side was the glory of Edhi Sahib, who was completely dependent on his one-tenth share of the shameless and unbiased social work.
03:34was standing at the service and on the other side was a strong group of local rich and businessmen who were using their influence and power.
03:41to any extent to save lives
03:55But the surprising thing is that he broke all these obstacles and won the election.
04:02Won and became a basic democrat
04:04But he was not a silent dervish who would accept everything silently.
04:09He was a very practical and realistic person.
04:13According to historical references, in the 1965 presidential elections
04:17Despite intense political pressure, he courageously supported Mahatma Fatima Janaki.
04:23And even more important is when the powerful rulers did not fulfill the rights of the poor.
04:28So he stood up in a Fatihana gathering and cursed the then Chief Minister Ayub Khan for public power.
04:35I heard it
04:35By 1970, the contest had become a contest for the Qumri Assembly.
04:39Just picture this scene
04:41On one side is Idi sahib who is single-handedly carrying out a street-to-street campaign with a megaphone in his hand, without any funds.
04:48Are
04:48He refuses to spend a single penny on voters and relies solely on his practical work.
04:54And right in front of them is the biggest political wave of the moment, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's People's Party, with its famous
05:01With slogans, food, clothing and shelter and a powerful organizing machinery
05:05But the results proved how bitter electoral politics can be.
05:12Despite such brilliant and unparalleled social services, he remained at number five.
05:18It was a harsh reality that the public prioritized traditional, religious and political affiliations over practical service.
05:26And Maulana Noorani of Jamiat Ulama Pakistan was victorious, in fact a major reason for this defeat was his own unrelenting and
05:35There were also strict collections
05:37But Di says that she flatly refused to spend even a single rupee on her election campaign.
05:42Was
05:42Even offering a cup of tea to potential voters seemed like a form of political bribe to them.
05:48This is the strict moral stance which explains why the public has so much love for fruitful works and ultimately the ballot.
05:55Why couldn't the box be converted into votes?
05:57Just look at the 1975 elections, although this time he had the support of an organized party like Jamaat-e-Islami.
06:05But the result still did not change.
06:07This made one thing clear that in the political environment of that time, a true, open and honest person
06:14There was really no wake for Los Social Worker
06:17If we look at the historical documents impartially, one thing becomes clear.
06:23He wisely saved himself from all these traps of power.
06:27In 1984, due to ideological differences, he resigned from the Shura of General Ziaul Haq's Majlis.
06:34Rejected the offer of political ticket from Nawe and Taryan from Benazir Bhutto
06:39And then in 2014, General Hameed Gul and Imran Khan clearly refused to be part of the pressure groups.
06:45done it
06:46The price he paid for his ruthless non-violence was death threats and self-immolation in London.
06:52I had to pay
06:53He did not become anyone's puppet, neither of the right arm nor of the left arm nor of the mouth.
06:59But behind this massive political battle and vast network of logistics, there is a very special and important participant.
07:08was also present
07:08This journey was not undertaken by you alone.
07:11Bilqis Bano Edhi, popularly known as the Mother of Thousands
07:16He took full responsibility for the welfare of the children of the Foundation.
07:21We all remember those famous shoes placed outside Edi centres.
07:26In which abandoned children found a safe place
07:29These were run under the supervision of Ini
07:31They ensured that every child left in these prisons
07:35Specially trained children should have a loving home and lifelong support.
07:40And then with time the whole world had to accept this.
07:44that this man who works from a small room
07:47In fact, Mauser is working more than many governments of the world.
07:52The awards received by Ben Algwami are a living proof of this.
07:57From Ramon Magsaysay Award to Lenal Bess Price and Pakistan's biggest civilian Ejaz Nishan Imtiaz.
08:03The whole world accepted him as a great human friend.
08:07So at the end of this entire journey, a very deep and thought-provoking question arises in the mind.
08:14Is political power really necessary to bring about real and major social change?
08:19Or perhaps this change is actually hidden in staying away from such power and politics.
08:25Just list, the person who failed in traditional politics, later on established such a fruitful system.
08:32He established a work whose example is unmatched in the world.
08:34And this was possible only because they refused to trade their humanity for power.
08:41This is that great legacy which remains a question mark for us even today.
08:45Thanks for sticking with us, I hope you found many new things in this post.
