A great person & practical man. His life proves the adage ”Actions speaks louder than words”. He is really a source of inspiration for the youth. But unfortunately, in Pakistan, there is NO trend of admiring and honoring the persons, they are worthy of.
May his soul rest in Peace.

Rauf Khalid, a legend and a born intellectual was personally known to me through his brother Samad Khan, my colleague at work. Samad Khan very fondly introduced me to Rauf Khalid and then whenever, he visited our office, we have a pleasant discussion He was very sober with pleasing personality. This morning when I telephoned to Samad Khan, he was a broken person.

Rauf Khalid invited me personally on the launching of LAAG at Marriot Hotel, Islamabad and introduced to me the cast of the Serial.

Every soul will have a taste of death. I pray to Almighty Allah that He may give courage and solace to his family to bear this irreparable loss, which is in fact a great loss to Pakistan. He is shaheed because he faced the death in an accident.
