Mehdi Hasan left in the lurch -DAWN - National; 28 March, 2004 |
 | | LAHORE, March 27: The government as well as artistes are showing apathy to the living legend of music, Ustad Mehdi Hasan, as they have done nothing for the ghazal singer suffering from paralyses for the last three-and-a-half-years. |
 | | Ustad Mehdi Hasan, who along with his two sons -- Arif and Asif -- held a press conference at the Lahore Press Club on Saturday, could not help crying as he, sitting on a wheelchair, began to speak, acknowledging media persons' love for him. |
 | | His elder son, Arif Mehdi, told reporters that his father was visiting Lahore for the first time after the paralyses stroke, as he wanted to meet his old friends once again. |
