A legend has passed away- Avari Sb was an ardent supporter of #religiousfreedom & loved #Pakistan. Whenever I asked for anything for interfaith work- he obliged wholeheartedly. He always told me at the end of events, “Your father would be as proud as I am of you.” #ByramAvari pic.twitter.com/iIw8sPdmxz
