how many of these billionaire celebrities of Pakistan regularly pay charities to "teach a child foundation" "kashf" thelisymia SUN foundation for education and others? do they give a good portion over and above their luxury needs even to education charities? or they just tweet

Lahore is the city of lively hearts people- It will live till the day of Qayama'h Inshallah. All such cruel attempts are against humanity, against Islam and against patriotism. We strongly condemn this incident and request the Govt. to declare such OPEN ENEMY of PAKISTAN and bring them to boards to execute. Again pray for Lahore - it will live INSHALLAH

@adnan I think rich included celebrities are the one running many charities. Poor bring kids in this world without any thought and except rich are responsible for them. If we should do our part and forget what other doing we will be in better shape. Thank all you for kind words.

Feel So Sorry For Families ... I think time to seriously give insaniyat some leverage in religious discourse and seriously deliberate to make religion private affair sans politics and public life
