The PM also tweeted the following:

I don't think any amount of words are enough to thank the Edhi family for taking care of Geeta. They are apostles of kindness & compassion.

What the Edhi family has done is too priceless to be measured but I am happy to announce a contribution of Rs. 1 crore to their foundation.

Expressed my gratitude to PM Nawaz Sharif for his efforts that ensured Geeta returned home.
