The relief material sent by Pakistan to cyclone-hit Sri Lanka turned out to be expired. Sri Lanka expressed anger over this incident, which caused embarrassment to Pakistan at the international level. In 2015, he also faced criticism for sending beef to Nepal.
Colombo (02 December): This has once again proved that Pakistan cannot do anything properly except promoting terrorism, lying and spreading anarchy. Cyclone ‘Dhitwa’ has caused huge devastation in Sri Lanka. Many disasters like heavy rains, floods and landslides have occurred. 1,200 people lost their lives in Sri Lanka due to this cyclone. Many countries have extended a helping hand to Sri Lanka and distributed relief material. To show that ‘we are no less than anyone’, Pakistan also sent some relief material including food items. But Sri Lanka has expressed anger and said that the food items sent by Pakistan have expired.
Pakistan was embarrassed by posting the photo
To help Sri Lanka, the Pakistani government had sent food packets, medicines and many other relief materials. Logos of Pakistan and Sri Lanka, things like ‘Relief material sent for cyclone victims in Sri Lanka’ and complete information were printed on this relief material. After this these pictures were posted on social media. Pakistan’s plan was to show itself helpful to the people of Sri Lanka and earn a lot of praise on social media. But now Pakistan is being embarrassed on social media.
All the food sent from Pakistan turned out to be expired
The food packets sent from Pakistan had expired. Expiry date was written on these food packets made in Pakistan. Expired food packets and medicines several months, even a few years old, were sent to Sri Lanka. When officials were distributing relief material from Pakistan, they came to know that it was expired. After this, the distribution of all food packets and relief material coming from Pakistan was stopped. At the same time, the Sri Lankan citizens who received this food have also expressed anger.
Facing problems regarding relief material is not new for Pakistan.
Pakistan, especially in some Asian countries like Sri Lanka, has made several attempts to show its presence and remove the label of ‘terrorist country’. This is not the first time that Pakistan has faced embarrassment and anger by sending relief material like this. This time he has become a victim of anger by sending expired food to Sri Lanka, whereas during the terrible earthquake in Nepal in 2015, he had also sent relief material. At that time he had sent packets of ‘ready-to-eat’ beef. He had to face a lot of anger by sending beef to Hindu majority country Nepal. The people of Nepal had thrown the food packets given by Pakistan in the drains.
