For Omar Asghar Khan’s parents and family It is my sad duty to record the untimely death of the illustrious son of DJ’s Chief Patron, Air Marshal (Retd) Asghar Khan. Omar Asghar Khan was a very noble son of Pakistan and a matter of great pride not only for his parents, extended family and many friends, but for this entire country. While embodying the honesty and integrity that is the hallmark of his father, he lived a full life in pursuit of amelioration of the miseries of the common man. He was a quiet, well-natured person who accomplished far more in his short life span than many other comparable people manage in many lifetimes. Omar was a complete human being with everything to live for. A family man who was very much a team player, he refused to remain submerged under his father’s giant shadow, he set out to do his own thing, achieving a great deal in the socio-political sphere in a modest but determined manner in a very short span of time. Visiting his parents and family a few days ago to condole his death, I was struck by the quiet dignity with which they bore their grievous loss. Omar would have been proud of all of them, including his children, in the stoic manner they looked after all those who came to his father’s house in Abbottabad. Indeed that stark image remained etched in my mind and moved me to tears on the road back to Islamabad. To eulogize Omar as his family and friends would have remembered him, DJ has tried to compile all that has been written in the past few weeks and dovetailed it with the photographs sent by his mother. In spite of our profound grief at his being taken from us in the prime of his youth, we will remember Omar with the same warm happiness that he spread around him. This young man has left an indelible footprint in the sands of time. |
