Imran Riaz Khan starts ambulance service after Arshad Sharif’s name
Journalist Imran Riaz Khan has planned to launch ambulance services as a tribute to Shaheed Arshad Sharif.
According to sources, the mother of Shaheed will inaugurate the ambulance services. The ambulances will be available for services in remote areas including the cities of Balochistan, South Punjab and Azad Kashmir.
Imran Riaz Khan tweeted, “Maa ji (the mother of Arshad Sharif) will inaugurate soon and we will spread this service in the name of Arshad Bhai. And we will entrust the management of it to his family,”
Senior journalist Arshad Sharif, who was known for his investigative reports, was shot dead by police in Kenya in what they claimed was a case of mistaken identity in October last.
The Pakistani government has formed a high-powered team to probe the murder after conflicting claims emerged about the incident.
ماں جی جلد افتتاح کریں گی اور اس سروس کو ہم ارشد بھائی کے نام سے پھیلاتے جائیں گے۔ اور اسکا انتظام بھی انہی کی فیملی کے سپرد کریں گے انشاءاللہ https://t.co/3jAtCrkZct
