Muhammad Pervaiz Malik, PML-N Central Secretary Finance, expressed these views while speaking at a PML-N reorganised programme of relief and rehabilitation in which 100-bed hospital to be built on behalf of Nawaz Sharif in Muzaffarabad.
He said that the international assistance except Turkey and Saudi Arabia was negligible in the disaster, which was biggest than Tsunami in terms of deaths and destruction. He said that the people of Pakistan have shown unprecedented generosity in helping the quake hit people and they have not sent relief assistance alone but opened their towns, homes, hospitals, schools, colleges and universities for the survivors. "While the collective and individual assistance from the social, political, religious organisations and individuals were tremendous, the performance of government except the Pakistan Army was also poor. There were reports that the ruling party and the government fixed their banners in private and individual truckload of relief goods before reaching to Muzaffarabad," he added.
Malik said the Pakistani nation was united and they will not leave their Kashmiri brethren hard hit in the earthquake alone.
