At the outset my thanks to Sultan Baghazal for the letter titled "PRC — stop lavish dinners! Send the money to stranded Pakistanis" in which he acknowledged the effort of PRC for the cause of Pakistanis stranded in Bangladesh. We also like to clarify that dinners we do are at economical restaurants and are contributed by the members. PRC is proud that in such small restaurants intellectuals like, Dr. Abdullah Omar Naseef, Dr. Ahmed Mohammad Ali, Khaled Almaeena, Dr. Francis Lamand, Tariq Al-Maeena, Dr. Ali Al-Ghamdi and others join to extend moral support to PRC in the cause of quarter million patriotic Pakistanis languishing in Bangladesh for 40 years. Though PRC could not succeed in securing the rights of citizenship for those stranded Pakistanis from the government of Pakistan but it makes repeated efforts to keep reminding them. However, as being small organization PRC cannot exert pressure on the government, but is doing the Farde Kefayah (minimum obligation). While on other hand PRC has succeeded in extending moral support to NGOs working for the cause e.g. OBAT Helpers of USA, Nawai Waqt Fund, MWDO, IDB, MWL, Ansar Burney Welfare Trust and people have come forward overwhelmingly to extend support to these NGOs. If PRC had not done that people would not have known about the NGOs' activities and they would not have grown to the present level. The PRC itself is not involved in collecting fund for them but works as parent organization to extend support to all these organizations working for the cause. PRC has also approached other NGOs e.g. Al-Khidmat (subsidiary of Jamate Islami), Eidhi Trust, Khidmate Khalq Committee (subsidiary of MQM), Insaf Welfare Trust (subsidiary of PTI) etc. We appreciate the message of Sultan Baghazal, which would guide us in our future pace of activity.
