Honourable Prime Minister, Dear Brother,

I have learnt with great sorrow of the avalanche that fell on a Pakistani army base near the Siachen Glacier burying more than hundred soldiers.

On behalf of myself, my Nation and my Government, I wish mercy upon the fallen Pakistani soldiers, a speedy recovery to the wounded and I convey my condolences and patience to the brotherly people of Pakistan.
