DOORS of Sindh Governor House have been opened for all and sundry during the holy month of Ramadan for Iftar and dinner. On a daily basis, thousands of people, especially the poor, visit the historic building at Iftar time to cherish the meal. The credit and commendation of this really goes to incumbent Governor Sindh Kamran Tessori who is not only looking after the whole arrangement personally but is also meeting the expenses from his own pocket. One gets amazed to see the dignified manner the Iftar is served to the people.
There is no denying that the people belonging to low and middle-income groups are, at present, faced with an unbearable economic situation due to hyperinflation. In such a situation, responsibility rests with the well-offs to come forward and share their burden. The Sindh Governor has shown the way to them to share the resources they have with the less privileged. It is a well acknowledged fact that the people of this country are very kind hearted and immensely participate in philanthropic work. Especially during Ramadan, one sees many free Iftar centres cropping up in every nook and corner. Indeed this is the best way to multiply our reward in the blessed month. This is a beautiful deed that the Last Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) practiced and encouraged his Ummah to perform. During these difficult times, it is important that all those who can afford come forward and open their coffers for the poor people so that they can heave a sigh of relief. The Governors and the Chief Ministers of other provinces as well as owners of big companies should emulate Governor Tessori and host the deserving families at their places during this holy month. Apart from hosting these gatherings, Tessori has also been seen having his daily Sehri meals late at night at any street restaurant in Karachi. At busy eateries, he gets the chance to directly interact with people so as to know about their issues. The next step definitely should be as to how their financial problems can be addressed and how they can be aided to stand on their own feet.
