Pakistanis came together in support of another one of its unsung heroes, Ali Sadpara, who has missing for several days now during the expedition to K-2.
The Editor-in-Chief of Something Haute, Aamna Haider Isani, took to her Twitter and suggested the government recognize the effort made by Ali Sadpara along with his team members by dedicating a biopic to their names. She added that it would also help promote the soft image of the country.
The government has been talking about funding strong and inspirational content in Pakistan. Funding a world class biopic on #alisadpara would be good idea.

Moreover, the Rani of Ehd-e-Wafa, Zara Noor Abbas, commented on the Twitter trend #AliSadpara and questioned why are the people in Pakistan always late in recognizing one’s achievement.
#AliSadpara and his disappearance has been making rounds on the social media. We are all praying for him now. Shedding light on his achievements. But why now? Do we have to lose someone to know their worth? Why are our heroes lost? Why are they unsung?

She made an appeal to the followers to ensure that many other unsung heroes like Ali Sadpara don’t go unoticed and their families not ignored.
Instead, their achievements should be appreciated before they disappear, she emphasized.
Why is ‘ who wore what? ‘ more important than who made Pakistan proud more honest? So many heroes like #AliSadpara need recognition. BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR. So they can see that their efforts didn’t go unappreciated.
