Shoaib tweeted last week that India needs global support to battle the rising COVID-19 cases because their healthcare has crashed. “It’s a pandemic and we’re all in it together,” he said, adding that people on both sides of the border should become each other’s support.
“Heartening to see Pakistani civil society and social media reach out in solidarity to India,” Swara said. She added that Pakistanis are supporting India despite the fact that the Indian media and mainstream public discourse have consistently mocked and vilified Pakistanis.
“Thank you for your big heart, neighbour,” she remarked.

Others who expressed solidarity with India include Osman Khalid Butt and Momina Mustehsan.
Gut-wrenching visuals from India – the Covid crisis is deepening. Sending prayers that the nation comes out of this.
Please, everyone, mask up. Don’t let the idea that we’re vaccinated (or going to be soon) allow you to let your guard down.
Observe all SOPs. Save lives.— Osman Khalid Butt (@aClockworkObi) April 23, 2021
As cases in India soar to highest global daily and second highest in total, it is bound to put strain on resources. This is humanity vs the virus. Our battle against covid is also intensifying, but can we share to help our neighbors? #IndiaNeedsOxygen @ImranKhanPTI @SMQureshiPTI
