| 2014-03-29 |
| [DAWN] An attack on noted columnist and TV anchor Raza Rumi led to the unfortunate death of his driver Mustafa on Friday evening. Raza Ahmed, popularly known as Raza Rumi, was injured in an attack along with his guard and driver near Raja Market. According to TV reports, Rumi escaped with a minor injury and managed to shift his guard and driver to the hospital at death's door. However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... his driver departed this vale of tears. The guard's condition is also said to be critical. Rumi said he was distraught over his driver's killing, whom he described as "innocent" and a breadwinner for 10 other family members. "God has saved me. I just heard the... bullets when we took a turn near Raja Market and put my head down," he told AFP, adding his bodyguard leapt to save him. "Extremists want no counter narrative in the state that is why they are attacking alternative voices." When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... and understanding in Pakistain. " |
