Very much needed in poor areas of Pakistan. Don’t forget to include kashmiris.
Sarakari offecers will eat 80% unless the Saudis control it themselves
In the 8 comments so far received the maximum okays ( 6&4) are related to Corruption Forecasts. Perhaps Reflecting Quaid’s Corruption Forecast just after Independence in 1947. Amazingly & v.sadly one Response relates to Disapproval of giving food to the Needy & Kashmiri brothers.
You can quote a single incident that happened without corruption, just one!
My name is Yaseen jan and this is a social activity with us ….I ma also Pakistani…
The flour rtaes is very high and we are not afford them
Zardari and Noon leagees will devour all the food baskets rest a sure.
Commendable step by the brotherly Muslim state.
Thanks Saudi Arabia!
It is a matter of great shame that a self-proclaimed ‘nuclear power’, a self-proclaimed ‘champion of Islam’ and a self-proclaimed ‘regional super-power’, a country with 75% economy based on agriculture should be accepting alms from another country. It imports wheat, sugar, tomatoes, potatoes, onions and other foodstuff and cannot take care of the very fundamental needs of its people. The rich of the country lead a super-luxurious life and make us poor dependent on others. Shame!
Good step from Saudi Government. Now it is the responsibility of pak govt to deliver to right person. X
Saudia is one of the best Islamic friend country.The work is appreciated.the distribution of ratio may be crystal clean and may be given to deserves families.

جی بلکل صحیح فرمایا ، جس طرح ماضی میں ہوتا آیا ہے۔
انتہائی افسوس کے ساتھ ایک پاکستان سیاستدانوں کے تجربات کی نظر ہوگیا، اور ملک میں برترین مہنگائی اور بے روزگاری نے ڈیرے ڈال دیے ، ایک سپر پاور ملک ہونے کے ناطے بہت ہی شرم کی بات ہے کہ ہمیں امداد لینے پر مجبور کر دیا گیا ہے، پاکستان پر ایک سوالیہ نشان ہے کہ کیا ہم اور ہماری آنے والی نسلیں اسی طرح امداد پر گزارا کرینگی۔؟؟
It’s a nice gesture but would appreciate if the Saudi government handle the donation themselve in these areas. Don’t trust the local institutions.
Please help people who are in need and give them their right and don’t cooperate with this corrupt government.
