Pakistan clerifies the rumor of India Media
Embassy of
Pakistan
Kathmandu
Press Release
A section of the media has been
wrongly propagating that some relief items (Meals-Ready-to-Eat) sent by
Pakistan to Nepal contain cow meat. This is out-rightly untrue, as the facts
are different.
Pakistan is fully aware of
sensitivities of our Hindu brethren in Nepal, who are passing through a very
difficult time. While we stand by our Nepali brothers and sisters, we in
Pakistan respect all religions and can never imagine showing disrespect towards
their beliefs and values.
Pakistan was one of the first
countries in the world to respond to the earthquake disaster in Nepal and
immediately transported relief and medical assistance to the country. Our
assistance contains food bags on which the contents have been clearly
mentioned. In each food bag there are 22 small packs which contain a variety of
food, which may be consumed for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The beef used in
food is that of the buffalo and not cow. Moreover, any one preferring not to
eat meat may set aside the food pack.
