Retired Officer Abdul Razzaq, at 75 years of age, is a 1965 war veteran. He earns an honest as a cab driver, each day picking up passengers from Lahore airport. Abdul Razzaq’s story came into public attention after a Facebook post that went viral.
Hamza Raza mentions in his post that he met Abdul Razzaq after a miscommunication with a rental car service. His misfortune turned into fortune after Abdul Razzaq approached him and offered him a ride in his cab. In the fast-paced world of today, we often don’t get a chance to think about the person sitting next to us, what goes on in their life and what brought them to where they are today.
In the fast-paced world of today, we often don’t get a chance to think about the person sitting next to us, what goes on in their life and what brought them to where they are today. With Abdul Razzaq, those stories involve losing close ones to serve and protect Pakistan from external threats.
In his post, Hamza Raza continues:
Should any of you ever be in need of a ride in Lahore, Officer Abdul Razzaq can be reached at 0300-4697826. His white Suzuki Margalla though not in immaculate condition, is comfortable and I guarantee that his stories are far better than a ride in a fancier car.
