| RAWALPINDI: The worst floods in the country’s history have made every eye tearful. The United Nations has declared the floods devastation worse than 2005 Tsunami. So far at least 14 million people have been rendered homeless by the unprecedented calamity. This large-scale destruction has also left behind the devastation caused by the 2005 earthquake. Thousands of villages have been destroyed and the displaced people are forced to live in relief camps. In response to the aid appeal, the world community has responded abruptly and donations and aid has been coming from different parts of the world. The foreign aid is unavoidable in the wake of this large-scale devastation. But instead of depending on foreign aid, we will have to invite philanthropists’ attention towards this disaster and fully try to collect donations. To start this good activity from home, Mir Khalil-ur-Rehman Foundation (MKRF) and Imran Khan took joint steps with the name of “Pukaar” to help the flood affectees. “Pukaar” is gathering on one platform the philanthropists and those who equally share grief of their countrymen. Telethon “Pukaar” will be presented on Geo TV with the collaboration of Imran Khan and Mir Khalil-ur-Rehman Foundation today (Sunday). The personalities who will be present in Telethon include Lollywood actress and director Reema Khan, renowned director Sayed Noor, model and actress Mahreen Raheel, actress and writer Bushra Ansari, Behroz Sabzwari, Javed Shaikh, singer Jawad Ahmed, SM Munir, Saba Pervez and Imran Khan. Noorul Hassan and Sahir Lodhi will host the telethon. Geo viewers could give donations for flood victims and talk to their favourite personalities in the telethon from 3pm to 8pm today (Sunday). A mega welfare initiative was launched by the Mir Khalil-ur-Rehman Foundation under the banner of “Pukaar” for the relief and rehabilitation of the 2005 earthquake victims. “Pukaar” is not only of the Mir Khalil-ur-Rehman Foundation and Imran Khan, but it is “Pukaar” (call) of time, religion and humanity. The Pakistani nation does not lake passion, and only a “Pukaar” (call) was needed. Now when this call has been given, it is hoped that people all over the world, especially Pakistani nationals, will respond to it and come ahead to help out their countrymen in this hour of need. |
