Nawaz Sharif at Siachen!


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 masses appreciated Nawaz Sharif’s gesture of gratitude and solidarity towards the brothers trapped under ice. 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.
Nawaz Sharif along with himself carried relief goods and stayed at Gyari for half an hour and then met the families of the soldiers buried under ice. He offered 5 lakh for each family with a job in Punjab govt.Whereas back in Lahore Maryam Nawaz was receiving appreciation, on behalf of Nawaz Sharif for his for his gesture , on twitter. Nawaz Sharif’s demand, of unilateral pull of troops from Siachen by both sides, was highly endorsed by different media people from both countries.
It is sign that change is afoot since leaders like him now vouch for peace. This means that there is an evolving consensus for the need of peace across the political ideological spectrum. Mian Nawaz Sharif’s gesture must be appreciated regardless of party affiliation as he has put the right foot, and words, forward.It’s high time for both sides ,India and Pakistan, to realize that they are not gaining much by losing precious lives.
Nawaz Sharif visit was not only important to show solidarity towards the brothers fighting there but also showed his concern for his people.Nawaz Sharif proved to be a national leader winning over all those who claimed to be more closer to the public.Nawaz Sharif noble gesture should be appreciated and I pray to God that other leaders follow the same path.Long live Nawaz Sharif!
