Karachi: With the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan in the country, the arrival of beggars in Karachi has started. The team of MM News sought the opinion of social activist Abid Baili, what he said in this regard is presented below.
Social activist Abid Baili while talking to MM News said that “Bheekband” is a small message for all Karachiites and all of Pakistan to stop begging, because your habit of begging is beggars. It is not reducing the number of people, but it is also increasing their number and leading those people to a kind of employment, in which this country does not live and it will not change the condition of this country.
He said that when we stop begging, these children and these men and women who were wandering in the streets might start doing something right. Abid said that he has been working on it since 2010 and also did a campaign that we will send children to study in Zindah Trust from there they will also get money, and t the evening time the same children will get employment by selling different things on signals.
After the corona epidemic, we started this campaign with a new name from the base of a common Karachiwala, Abid said and added that after almost 2 years of making the entire campaign online, they started its ground activity, when good Team members became.
Abid Baili said that the people of Karachi know one thing that at what time in the morning these beggars are left in Suzukis and rickshaws, how many children are picked up in the evening, who is disabled, who is blind, who is otherwise.
It is estimated that the cases of these beggars have started since 2004 before these cases were not so much, there was a tendency for people to help them in their areas, in their families and in their friends, and this is the tendency of offering to fast and Iftaar. It was also limited to the mosques only, not on the streets.
He said that people should help someone after all the research, and that should also be done in such a way that the person stands at a place in his life. A hunchback man used to come begging with a stick in his hand, and everyone felt sorry for him. Abid said he forbade him from even wandering around his restaurant.
The same guy was going home carrying a can of water in the Bazarta line is in perfect condition, his video was taken by one of our waiters and sent to me that this is the same hunchback beggar whom all our staff members feel sad about.
White-clad families will not be seen like this in the ration line, nor will you see them in the langar boxes, we should think to help them, for this we should set up cheap ration stalls.
This will mean that if that person buys a bag worth Rs. 300 for Rs. 100, then that person will be happy that he is feeding children by buying something and not by asking/begging to feed them. A little change in our thinking is needed, the rest depends on our nation and how it acts on it.
