Re: Earthquake in China
APL (Association of Pakistani Lawyers) a team of Pakistani origin lawyers, Solicitors, Barristers, Judges in UK jointly has noted with great sorrow and grief that China was hit by a quake on 12 May measured 7.5 on the Richter scale resulting over 21,000 deaths so far where the number of people still buried are over 26,000 and the missing over 14,000 and 7000 schools have collapsed.
On behalf of people of Pakistan, we all mourn the death of our brethren in China. People of Pakistan are with their Chinese brethren in this time of need and we express extreme pain at this natural catastrophe and we have urged the Govt of Pakistan as well as Great Britain to do whatever is possible to assist the people of China in this difficult times befitting to how they helped Pakistan during the earth quake on 8 Oct 2005.
Our sympathies are with the Chinese people and Chinese state and we convey our feelings of sorrow and good will to The Prime Minister of China Mr. Wen Jiabao, and the President Hu Jintao and condole on the death of their beloved ones. We pray that as the Chinese are a brave nation, May they find strength to bear this irreparable loss of their loved one’s.
APL would urge the citizens of Pakistan to show solidarity to the people of china in their own way and if possible pay visit of condolences to the nearest Chinese embassy to show their solidarity to Chinese people with flowers and messages of good will and Govt must open a condolences book at all civic centres for public to write their condolence messages.
