Amidst a sea of supporters, Rehan Zeb’s father sits, clutching a rosary and a cane, enveloped in their unwavering devotion. “Their love is not for me, but for Shaheed Rehan Zeb Khan,” he solemnly declares, his grief momentarily eclipsed by their collective embrace.
Reflecting on Rehan’s formative years, his father recounts the sage counsel imparted: “I always urged him to uphold the values of integrity and service to the nation. Despite lucrative temptations, he remained steadfast in his commitment to uplift the downtrodden, a choice that ultimately led to his martyrdom.”
With unwavering sincerity ingrained in his son from an early age, he attributes the outpouring of affection from the community to Rehan’s unyielding honesty. When questioned about the pursuit of justice for Rehan’s sacrifices, his father recounts a pivotal encounter with the Chief Minister, where a substantial bribe was proffered in exchange for withdrawal from the electoral race. Unmoved by the allure of riches, he adamantly rejected the offer, reaffirming his allegiance to both his nation and his fallen son.
