LRE Flood Relief Tour Pictures Thursday, August 19,

<=== A "Tehreek -e- Insaf Paksitan" truck heading towards disaster area. One of many trucks from PTI that we saw. (Please note neither LRE nor any of its team members have any political affiliation with PTI. We report it as independent and neutral source. Had it been PPP or PML we would have reported that too verbatim with honesty.)

The only political party that we saw very actively helping the flood victims at various places was Pakistan Tehreek -e- Insaf. Their workers and volunteers seemed very charged to help the flood victims.

Some smaller organizations and parties also showed their (very little) presence but amazingly we did not see any workers or leaders from two major parties PPP and PML N actively helping the flood victims anywhere. It looked like no such parties exist. Our prime minister belongs to this area. We don't know where did the local and national politician, nazims, MNAs, MPAs, etc go.

On our way from Lahore to Muzaffargarh we saw and passed many trucks (private good transport companies owned) with Army Flood Relief banners travelling south towards Multan. Later we saw similar or same trucks in Bheera perhaps going towards Dera Ghazi Khan. Some of those trucks also had a computer printed sheet on the windscreen with DHA Lahore visible on those sheets. We mention this as an eye witness account that aid given to army is moving to the disaster areas.

Apart from the trucks with Army Relief banners we saw some trucks from Pakistan Tehreek -e- Insaf just like the truck in this picture. You can read "Tehreek -e- Insaf Paksitan" written in Urdu on the back of this truck. We also saw PTI Insaaf Tandoors/Dastarkhwan in the flood affectees' camps e.g. in "Wapda Town/Thermal Colony" opposite Muzaffargarh thermal power plant.

LRE
Thanks for helping & saving people in times of need.
Thanks for sharing eye-witnessed scenes / observations.
Thanks for sharing that Pak Army/PTI is doing great job.

I am not political worker but know one thing: Where there is will, there is way. Istitutions / people who work honestly still hold public respect, trust and good wishes.
May Allah save me from the day when people around me start not to believe me.
