A ceremony was held in the memory of late Dr Khawaja Muhammad Ashraf, the founding member of MQI Karachi, in Manchester (UK) in which Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri participated through video link.

In his address, Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri paid rich tributes to the late MQI leader and said that he dedicated his life to the love of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said that he was among the founding members of MQI in Karachi and set up the office of the organization in his home. He became identity of mission and MQI throughout Sindh, adding that there is no corner or part of Karachi where he did not introduce the MQI. He was a walking messenger of the party who served Pakistan and Islam with utmost dedication and commitment.
