Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday offered “all-possible assistance” to the people of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir who, too, have suffered because of floods. He has also written to his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif stating that “our resources are at your disposal wherever you need them.”

Reacting to the offer, a Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson said: “We also feel the pain of the people of Indian-Occupied-Kashmir and are ready to help in whatever way possible to mitigate the suffering of the people affected by the floods.”

This is the third time in less than a decade that India has offered Pakistan assistance during a natural calamity.
