Pakistan to send wheat to Kunduz as 'goodwill gesture'

[Saifullah Sani]

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has directed the Foreign Office (FO) to arrange the transportation of wheat stock to Kunduz — the northern Afghan city where people face major food shortages after the provincial capital fell to a lightning Taliban assault in their biggest military victory since 2001.

Traumatised residents returning to Kunduz last week faced major food shortages after the Taliban beat a "tactical retreat", leaving much of the city in ruins as fears of a comeback by the militants loomed large.

Taking notice of the food crisis in Kunduz, the prime minister directed FO to send a plane-load of wheat stock to the city.

This measure is being taken as a goodwill gesture on behalf of the people and Government of Pakistan for the returning residents of Kunduz facing severe food shortage after Taliban retreat, said a statement issued by the Prime Minister House.

No good will gesture will work on these Afghans, seal the effin border and dry up the supplies until they are willing to pay without any subsidy whatsoever.

They can ask their best friend India for any help, who can easily supply anything via India to Mars to Afghanistan route.
