KARACHI: There were hundreds of male and female Santas of all ages and sizes spreading holiday cheer in their red suits during the ‘Christmas Interfaith Peace Rally’ organised by all churches of the city here on Sunday, and they didn’t all necessarily belong to the Christian faith.
The rally itself started from outside the Christian Cemetery on Korangi Road at around 5.30pm but even before that there was a lot happening as the people started gathering there at around 3pm. Initially, they were met by the camels munching away on heaps of green grass placed before them. Later, they were to pull the carts on which women and children were to ride.

He contracted Covid-19 last month and was admitted to a private hospital in Faridabad.
