He was the one who camped in Muzaffarabad and led the rescue efforts their, he also played a major role in initiating satellite mapping of Karachi. An ex-KU student, very well read, well travelled with an uncanny knack for poetry. My family made in time for elections and will be voting for him. On a side note, my apologies of bringing this up here, but here is an example that will show you how single minded journalistic expedience, can cause embarrassment to a reputed newspaper such as dawn; <b>Expensive CDGK park in land-grabber's grip</b> <a href="http://www.dawn.com/2008/02/10/local3.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dawn.com/2008/02/10/local3.htm</a> <b>Bagh-e-Rustom funded by family trust</b> <a href="http://www.dawn.com/2008/02/13/local11.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dawn.com/2008/02/13/local11.htm</a> When I read the first article it looked so believable, I really felt a tinge of anger, but the subsequent apology reveals that the park has been given to Cowasjee Family by CGDK, and they are maintaining it.
