When the government and authorities bury their heads in the sand, can an ostrich step in to lend a helping hand? We welcome Syed Zafar Abbas to our podcast to recount the story of the JDC Foundation Pakistan, a Karachi-based philanthropic initiative that started in 2009. It now provides humanitarian services in health, education, disaster relief, rescue, and other welfare programs across the nation and worldwide

Mr. Zafar, known for his quirky, emotional, and furious yet witty responses on social media, is once again in the spotlight for offering lavish meals to the masses, especially during Ramadan. The Ostrich controversy—Shutur Murgh, or colloquially, Shutar Murgh—has recently surged on social media as netizens demand a boycott of the JDC Foundation and Zafar Abbas.

Responding to 'undue' criticism, the founder of JDC highlights that the main objective of his organization is to fill the gap where the state or authorities fail. Furthermore, he claims that the malicious campaign against him is rooted in sectarian, ethno-supremacist, and classist mindsets.
