Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif recently made headlines by presenting a new car to the blind vlogger Hafiz Mohammad Ali, fulfilling a long-standing wish he had shared with her. This thoughtful gesture underscores Maryam Nawaz’s commitment to supporting people with disabilities and recognizing their valuable contributions.
At the car handover, Maryam Nawaz asked Ali if he was happy, to which he enthusiastically replied, “Definitely, I am thrilled.” For Ali, this gift was more than just a vehicle; it represented realizing a cherished dream. Known for his diverse talents, Hafiz Mohammad Ali has made remarkable achievements despite his visual impairment. From cricket commentary to Na’at recitation, he has shared his insights through digital platforms like Google, and his work as a vlogger on YouTube in both English and Urdu has inspired many.
Ali’s journey hasn’t been easy, and he’s overcome numerous challenges to build a successful career in content creation and sports commentary. Living apart from his father, who works in Karachi, Ali has experienced loneliness, which the new car helps alleviate, giving him greater independence. Maryam Nawaz’s gift not only fulfilled his wish but also demonstrated her empathy toward his challenges.
Expressing heartfelt gratitude, Ali referred to Maryam as a “real mother,” explaining that only a mother would understand and fulfill such a wish. His words reflected his deep respect for her and his longstanding loyalty to the Pakistan Muslim League (N), which he has supported throughout his career.
The car presentation ceremony was a heartfelt event, attended by Ali’s father, brother, and friends, adding warmth to the occasion. This gift brings new joy to Ali’s life and serves as a reminder of the power of compassion, support, and recognition for individuals with disabilities.
