Re: India’s aid offer being considered
^^ Bhaijan dronacharya, please enlighten us with some reliable sources instead of coming up with silly excuses.
And yes exceptions do not prove the rule. Daily Times made a mistake by writing about a ridiculously inflated figure. That however neither validates your claims nor reflects "crappy standards of journalism" LMAO
Re: India’s aid offer being considered
i think India offered US$25million during the 2005 earthquake, which was far lesser human tragedy than this flooding, if Pakistan accepts this initial $5million i hope more will come.

Re: India’s aid offer being considered
So Pakistan accepted this offer. Pakistan has made wise decision, perhaps one step forward towards normalisation of ties with India.
Pakistan accepts India’s offer, appeals for more aid
NEW DELHI: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi appealed to the international community to provide more and immediate aid to cope with the humanitarian crisis due to the floods.
Moreover, Pakistan has decided to accept flood aid from its neighbour India, saying the offer was a “very welcome initiative” as both countries look to improve their tense relations.
Foreign Minister Qureshi told India’s NDTV television in an interview broadcast Friday that Islamabad would take India’s offer of five million dollars which was made last Friday.
“I can share with you that the government of Pakistan has agreed to accept the Indian offer,” Qureshi said from New York, where he addressed a special session of the UN General Assembly called to boost aid for flood victims.
“I think this initiative of India is a very welcome initiative.”

India adds to flooding of Punjab
LAHORE – Another flood warning shook Punjab on Saturday in the wake of possible massive deluge as India released over 18,000 cusecs of additional water in River Ravi without prior information to the Pakistani authorities.
Around 170 villages along the river have been evacuated while the local administration is on high alert in Narowal and Sialkot districts to cope with any emergency, official sources said.
**“The Pakistani Government should reconsider the decision to accept US $5 million Indian aid offer and have it clarified that whether New Delhi is offering aid for the flood victims or giving compensation for expected flood devastation after releasing water in Ravi,” Ayub Khan Mayo, President Pakistan Muttahida Kissan Mahaz (PMKM), said when contacted.
**Official sources further said the flood warning was issued after the news of flood in five nullahs in the catchments areas of River Ravi. “India has released 18,000 cusecs of water in River Ravi that can cause massive floods in Narowal and Shakargarh as there was already 27,000 cusec water flowing in the river,” they added.
Earlier, the Metrological Department predicted that water level in River Ravi would remain low during the next 24 hours but after release of water a low-level flood has hit Bhutsen and Basantar drainages of the river. The Flood Warning Centre in Lahore has given prior high-flood warning in a drainage located at Shakargarh. Flooding is also possible in Basantar, Jhajri, Oojh and Khattar drainages.

Pakistan also gave India aid during the Gujrat Earthquake. Some people forget so easily.
Re: India’s aid offer being considered
I don't understand how Kayani approved taking money from India.
Re: India’s aid offer being considered
I don't understand why some people are always so bitter.
Re: India’s aid offer being considered
@goodname My Pakistani friends in the Canadian city where I live, tell me that rumours are already circulating that Kayani has ordered all the food and medication provided by India to be checked for poison. As well Pak army is checking every box of clothing and tents etc at Wagha border for explosives. According to them, it will be months before all the Indian aid will be delivered to the needy people.
Kayani has apparently given carte blanche to his soldiers to destroy any and all materials gifted by India if they feel like it.
No, I am not bitter, just realistic.

Sounds good. Especially considering the arrest of Vijay Kumar at Houston. Everything coming from India needs to be scrutinized. I'm sure most people wouldn't mind the delay.
Just being realistic.
