It is very heartening to note the tremendous response given the public in general for earthquake relief. The spirit shown by the people is very heartening.

Every year on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, it is traditional to send Eid Cards and gifts to every one your know. Lakh of rupees are spent on this tradition.

In view of the fact that a large number of our brethren are suffering and will be suffering on Eid day, it would not be out of place if all Pakistanis, as a nation, decide not to rejoice on Eid this year and instead offer prayers for their suffering brethren.

All money saved on sending cards, gifts and making new clothes and new shoes, should be donated for earthquake relief.
