It was a shocking news for me that Comrade Dr. Manzoor Ahmad passed away. I had a long association with him and learnt a lot from his experience. In 1972, when I came to Karachi from Sukkur and was in search of a reasonable residence, one of my friend informed me that I should live in Shah Faysal Colony (Formerly called Drigh Colony) as there were a number of left oriented politicians are residing there. In December 1972, with the help of Late Muhammad Muhsin Advocate, I got a house on rent and I with my childhood friend Saadat (Now in Canada) shifted in this locality which was totally new for me.
One day Comrade Muhammad Muhsin asked me to accompany him to meet a comrade who was a physician and a leader of NAP. This was my first meeting with Dr. Manzoor Ahmad which then converted to a very frank friends, though there was a wide age difference. he was polite, kind and always helpful to me. During 1980s we started a study circle at his residence in which Professor Iqbal Ahmad Khan (late) was the regular participant and speaker. Along with him, Comrade Ahmad Altaf and many others also participated in this study circle regularly. Here I met legnedary personalities like B.M Kutty, Comrade Sharaf Ali, Comrade Mukhar Bacha, Barrister Abdul Wadood, Prof. Jamal Naqvi and Comrade Imam Ali Nazish.
In 1991, when I shifted to Gulshan-e-Maymar, I used to visit him and many time he visited me in Gulshan-e-Maymar. On day he spent a whole day with his daughter and son with my family and we discussed a lot on political situation.
Though his livelihood was on medical practice but he was so kind with his friends that he had has marked "Friend" on the prescription cards of each friend and no fee was charged from friends. Similarly many of poor families of the area were getting free medical treatment from him.
My red salute to the great comrade and political activist of high moral values.

Grieved to learn the demise of our dear friend and comrade Dr. Manzoor Ahmed. We lived in Shah Faisal Colony since 1958. He provided medical coverage to the people of the area and the adjoining localities. His services to the people are remembered by respect and gratitude. His contribution to the progressive politics of the country is well known. Ever since he became vicitim of Alzheimer's disease he went in to eclipse. We all miss him. People of his courage, determination, commitment, and a mission for changing the valaues of our society toward progress, peace, and social justice are leaving us one after another. Let us remember their sterling qualities and pass them on to the youth of our times to emaluate. With him I also remember Sharaf Ali Saheb who also lived in Shah Faisal Colony in the last days of his life. Sharaf Ali, and Dr Manzoor were dear friends andcomrades. They were a source of political inpiration and guidance.
We offer our condolences to his family. Iqbal Alavi.03009276504
