Listen to the story
In January 2013, I emailed Suhail Lari sahib a photograph. It was of one of the 22 benches dedicated to people at Pakistan Chowk. This one bore the names Yasmeen and Suhail Lari. âThanks you are doing great work, please continue,â he replied, âbut what made you put our names on the benchâ¦â Answering a question like that would have needed a lifetime, so I left it pending.
