It has been more than 10 days since the Pakistani soldiers have been trapped buried under the snow avalanche at Siachen. The whole nation is praying for the frost warriors and expecting a miracle that those 135 lives are safe.
PML(N) Chief Nawaz Sharif’s visit to Siachen was an important highlight of the week. His visit was not only been broadcasted on electronic media but was also trending on social media. In general, Pakistan’s people appreciated Nawaz Sharif’s gesture of gratitude and solidarity towards the brothers trapped under snow. Nawaz Sharif, despite the bad weather, reached Siachen which was appreciated not only by masses but journalists like Hamid Mir, Mubasher Lucman and Dr Shahid Masood.
It’s high time for both sides, India and Pakistan, to realise that they are not gaining much by losing precious lives. Nawaz Sharif’s visit was not only important to show solidarity towards the brothers fighting there but also showed his concern for his people. His gesture should be appreciated.
