Pakistan needs help

The economic and political crisis is already deepening in Pakistan. Now the natural crisis has suffocated him. Due to heavy rains and floods, almost half of Pakistan has been submerged in water. More than a quarter of a thousand people have died. The homes of millions of people have collapsed. Crores of people have got the breath of food and drink. 4000 km of roads have been uprooted. More than 150 bridges have collapsed.

In 2010, almost a similar horrific scene was present in Pakistan, but this time about the great destruction that is happening, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto have said that they have never seen such a horrific scene in their life.

If this situation continues for two-three days, then the rising water of river Indus and Kabul river is not known how many crores of other people will be orphaned. This year, Sindh and Balochistan in Pakistan have received more than three times as much water as every year. In some villages and cities, this time 8-10 times the water has completely submerged the fields, barns and settlements. 110 out of 150 districts of Pakistan are currently half or full submerged. If the wrath of nature continues like this for a few more days, then the condition of Pakistan may be worse than that of Afghanistan and Ukraine.

Its leaders are calling on the International Monetary Fund and several Muslim nations for help. The United Nations has sought help for Pakistan by issuing an appeal to the nations. Britain has sent 1.5 million pounds. Iran, UAE and Saudi Arabia are also going to send help soon. The UAE is also sending 3000 tonnes of food grains and medicines. The goodwill that we have earned by helping Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Ukraine in the intervening time is priceless.

As far as Pakistan is concerned, Shahbaz Sharif had talked about improving mutual relations with India only last week. In this way, Sindh, Pakhtunkhwa and Baloch areas of Pakistan are the most affected at this time. If the Narendra Modi government takes the initiative to help at this time, then two goals will be fulfilled. One, we will fulfill the responsibility of being the senior nation of South Asia.

Second, with the help of India, the general public of Pakistan will be so affected that it will also affect its army, whose main objective has been to fight against India. It is also possible that due to this initiative, the doors of SAARC (SAARC) which have been closed for seven-eight years may be opened. Let us not forget that walls of division have been drawn between us in 1947 but our mountains, rivers, forests, plains and weather are not separate from each other.
