Pakistani Twitter stands with India amid COVID crisis

Pakistani Twitter shows trends where netizens are expressing concerns over the worsening situation of COVID crisis in India.

“I want to express our solidarity with the people of India as they battle a dangerous wave of COVID-19,” Prime Minister Imran Khan tweeted on Saturday as #PakistanstandswithIndia became a top trend on social media.

I want to express our solidarity with the people of India as they battle a dangerous wave of COVID-19. Our prayers for a speedy recovery go to all those suffering from the pandemic in our neighbourhood & the world. We must fight this global challenge confronting humanity together
— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) April 24, 2021

The PM added that we had to fight this global challenge together. Earlier Pakistani philanthropist Faisal Edhi , son of Abdul Sattar Edhi, had written a letter to Indian premier Narendra Modi.

In the letter, Edhi offered to arrange all the necessary supplies to assist the people of India.

The hashtag #PakistanstandswithIndia represents the best side of Pakistan. We must choose solidarity and empathy over hate and enmity. Only peace and cooperation in our region can help us prepare for existing and coming disasters.

#PakistanStandsWithIndia is the top trend in Pakistan.
Goes to show that despite political tensions, people on both sides of the border have immense love & concern for each other.
Let the people meet, support each other, solve issues amicably.
People only lose in conflict.
