  • Requiem for I.A. Rehman | Ahmed Rashid (Dawn, April 14)

    15 April
    I missed the last rites of a hero.
    Whose memory will outlast the spent lives
    Of our dictators and fake politicians.

    12 April

    It is the rarest of men for whom it can truly be said that their passing away diminishes us each, personally- in the joy, care, generosity and well-being that he brought to every friendship, and politically – in the towering inspiration that he was in all our common struggles against social and economic injustice and violations of the rights of the marginalised; his faith and belief in the common people and disregard for power and privilege; and his tireless commitment to building democracy without which there could be no peace. His quiet humility that made him listen to you, before he took your inchoate words and with a clarity of wisdom lifted our understanding about layered structures of power and mapped the way forward in the struggle for human rights, democracy and peace.
