Pakistanis have a history of giving generously in times of need, thus it is laudable and exceptional that they have once again risen to the challenge of helping those devastated by the monsoon floods.
A guy from Hangu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, gave the flood victims the money he had set aside for his son’s walima.
Suleman Qureshi, a kindhearted person, reportedly gave Rs. 300,000 to the Hangu flood relief camp. The walima is due in three days, but the father decided to spend the funds to aid those affected by the disaster.
In other news, Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif appreciated the generosity of the nation during his visit to flood-hit areas in Balochistan.
“People have so far donated generously. Last night, a man donated Rs. 60 million and asked against mentioning his name while a group of businessmen donated Rs. 450 million which will also be deposited in the account of the PM relief fund,” he remarked.
The PM also revealed that a total of Rs. 38 billion will be distributed across Pakistan within a week and “each victim will receive Rs. 25,000 through the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) account” accordingly.
