ISLAMABAD: Pakistani and Indian peace activists have kicked off a peace campaign in order to bring the two arch rivals closer in the region.
Almost 250 prominent Pakistanis and Indians have come together to seek peace between the two neighbouring countries.
In a resolution, they call upon “both governments and their security establishments to take all steps possible towards improving relations.”
The statement was initiated on May 5 and since then nearly 250 thought-leaders, journalists, lawyers, activists, filmmakers, physicians and students have endorsed the privately-shared statement.
The signatories recognise the interruption of dialogue between countries due to “jingoistic statements to militant attacks”. However, they now call upon governments of both countries to engage in ‘uninterrupted’ dialogue.
“The traditional response to such disruptions only strengthens those who want continued tensions between our two countries,” the statement read.
