In his message, the editor of Akhbar-e-Jahan, Mehmood Moodi, said that Javed Sahib was a gentleman, very kind to others. He said that Akhbar-e-Jahan was very dear to him. "The truth is that since his departure, the weekly has really become an orphan."

Mir Javed passed away on March 31, 2020. He had a vital role in making Akhbar-e-Jahan the most widely circulated Urdu weekly.
