Rise above political differences; help flood victims: Maryam

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Monday said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had given instructions to the government not to leave the flood-affected people alone, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 

Speaking to flood victims at Taunsa in southern Punjab, she said the government was good for nothing if it could not help those affected by natural disasters. “It is high time that every political party worked to provide relief to those who have suffered on account of incessant rains and floods in the country by setting political differences aside,” she emphasized. 

Maryam also appealed to philanthropists to donate generously to the flood victims. “May those displaced by floods return to their homes as early as possible,” she prayed. 

After passing seven hours among the flood-hit victims, Maryam Nawaz returned to Lahore from Multan Airport. Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan and Pervaiz Rasheed also accompanied her on this occasion.
