Geeta expresses grief over Edhi's demise

New Delhi - Edhi had dedicated his life to humanity and serving the poor

Geeta, the deaf and mute girl, who returned to India last October after being stranded in Pakistan for 13 years, on Saturday expressed deep sorrow over the demise of legendary Pakistani philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi.
Edhi, who had dedicated his life to humanity and serving the poor and was widely respected in Pakistan due to his humanitarian and social welfare works, had taken care of Geeta during her over a decade-long stay in Pakistan.
"Edhi Saheb loved me like a father and used to take very good care of me," Geeta told MP government officials through sign language, who on her behalf issued a press release.
