A Christian man, Johnson Tariq, was lauded during the Pakistan Day parade on March 23 for his heroic act of saving a woman from a violent mob in Lahore’s Ichhra Market last month. On February 25, a woman was saved by the law enforcers by an angry crowd that wanted to punish her for allegedly wearing a dress with Arabic calligraphy. Despite knowing the intensity of the situation, Johnson risked his own life and gave a safe space to the woman in his shop till the police came to rescue her. “Johnson Tariq, a person like you is a ‘proud’ for humanity,” the host said while lauding the brave man during the Pakistan Day parade held at the Parade Ground in Islamabad.
