She shared a video clip of him receiving the award at the PTV Awards ceremony. “My dear father Syed Iftikhar Ahmed’ while receiving [a] special award by PTV at PTV Awards in 1986,” she wrote. “Boltay Haath was one of its kind. An educational program designed by my parents in 1984 to teach sign language to people. The idea was to create a bridge between the deaf and other members of the society.”
