Pakistani Ambassador in Japan as per newspapers of today Thursday March 12 says اوورسیز پاکستانی ریاست پاکستان کا قیمتی اثاثہ ہیں
I wonder if such words that Overseas Pakistanis are the real ambassadors of Pakistan and assets of Pakistan etc are taught to the new Ambassadors while briefing them in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before proceeding to occupy their new seats or are from their heart. How empty are these words all know. The credibility of these words is same as in the last forty-five years is that the Karachi will soon be made Singapore. What is the practical worth of these so-called real ambassadors of Pakistan, our airports are witnessing where these so-called ambassadors are humiliated and offloaded under one unofficial undeclared pretext or the other.
2. It is today Thursday the March 12th and thirteenth day of Iran Israel war. Western embassies, as is well established from day one is issuing advisory for their nationals. Later they started guiding their nationals how to leave as well as making plans for evacuation.
3. In the third world developing countries, first came three days after start of war the Philippines Embassy in Bahrain distributing aid packets to its affected nationals purchased through the help and funds of Overseas Philippines Organisation same like that of our worthless Overseas Pakistanis Foundation. The Embassy has a large accommodation inside the Embassy serving as shelter for the destitute Philippine nationals with free bedding and food. Philippines Embassy as usual woke up to accommodate if someone needed help. Few months back a big hospital in Bahrain due to acute financial problems could not pay salaries to staff. Philippines Embassy got funds from its Overseas Philippines Organisation in Manila and distributed funds to help them in this trouble time. During Covid when many small businesses suffered, Philippines Embassies financially helped its citizens.
