A reporter from News Express is being slammed for reporting live from the grave of Pakistani Mother Theresa, social activist  Abdul Sattar Edhi.

A photo of the reporter shouting into the camera  lying on the floor of the cement-lined grave has gone viral.

Pakistani media played up the fact that Abdul Sattar Edhi had prepared the grave in his village Edhi 25 years ago. Many channels zoomed in on the grave while covering the rehearsal by Pakistan security forces to bid farewell to Abdul Sattar Edhi with state honours.

The News Express reporter went a little further and inserted himself into the grave and spoke to the camera lying in his back.

Abdul Sattar Edhi, who died on Friday at te age of 88, was the founder and head of the Edhi Foundation in Pakistan. Among other things, the Edhi Foundation runs the world's largest ambulance service and offers 24-hour emergency services.
