Karachi: A reporter in Pakistan exasperated one and all by reporting from inside the grave in which the body of the country's celebrated humanitarian and founder of the Edhi Foundation, a non-profit welfare organisation, Abdul Sattar Edhi, will be buried on Saturday.
As the reporter from Express News gave his report, the text on the screen read "Karachi: inside the last resting place of the servant of humanity, Abdul Sattar Edhi."
Edhi's funeral will be held on Saturday afternoon. He would be buried with the national flag wrapped around his coffin and would be accorded a police guard of honour.
Tributes poured in from all over the country for the revered national hero, who died on Friday night after he was put on ventilator following his deteriorating health.
But the Twitterati did not spare the Express reporter:

Yesterday we saw a reporter exploiting a kid who had lost his mother and today another one reports LIVE from Edhi's grave. Souls for sale.
