I work for the suffering of the common man, something I am very proud of and will continue to do.

It is because of my principle that people continue to give.

I want to create awareness amongst the common people of Pakistan and I generally appeal to the Pakistani people living here and abroad for help and they provide me with the necessary resources.

One time there was a student at Punjab University in Lahore who came down with cancer and his friend came to me for help. I stood outside on the street in Lahore and asked the people in that city for help. Within four or five hours, I received more than 40 million rupees [more than US $670,000].

My religion is humanitarianism, which is the basis of every religion in the world.

It is my principle never to accept any donations from any government or any foreign funded organisation.

People know that I have adopted four principles in living my life: simple living, punctuality, hard work and prudence.
