Let People Express!
Time Peace Loving People Decide the Agenda!! And the Course of Our Countries!!!
Dear Fellow Citizens of India and Pakistan,
After 55 years of tense relations, just five years of sustained peace
process between India and Pakistan was producing good results for all.
Unfortunately, the terror attack in Mumbai suddenly changed the entire
scenario and the tensions between India and Pakistan have once again
reached dangerous levels that are detrimental to the interests of both
the countries.
It
is clear that a dependence on the political- bureaucratic- military
establishments in both the countries may not lead to reduction in
tensions but on the contrary, this nexus could possibly land us in a
war. Role of the media of both the countries in the ongoing crisis is
also not very heartening.
In such
a situation, assertion by the people and civil society groups of both
the countries in favour of resolving the present crises through
dialogue, cooperation and appropriate actions by both the governments
to address terrorism and all other outstanding issues could influence
the processes that are set in motion. The collective will of the
people could certainly compel the establishments to adopt peaceful and
appropriate processes to address all the issues and bring back normalcy.
Joint Signature Campaign from 9th January 2009 to 8th February 2009
To facilitate such assertion by the people of both Pakistan and India,
a number of civil society organisations of Pakistan and India have come
together to launch a Joint Signature Campaign in both the countries.
All civil society organisations and concerned citizens of both the
countries are invited to endorse and be partners in this Joint
Signature Campaign and facilitate this Campaign in their areas of
operation by reaching out to the people to collect their signatures in
large numbers. All endorsing organisations will be listed
alphabetically- country wise.
The
Joint Signature Campaign will be launched in different cities and towns
of Pakistan and India on 9th January 2009 from 3 pm (IST). in India and
2.30 pm (PST) in Pakistan to ensure simultaneity.
.
The Campaign would be carried out for one month and will conclude on
Sunday, 8th February 2009. Copies of signatures collected in both the
countries will be compiled to be submitted to the Prime Minister of
India, The President of Pakistan and other important political
functionaries of both the countries and members of the Media before
20th February 2009.
The
Petition prepared for the Joint Signature Campaign is attached. We
appeal to organisations in both India and Pakistan to become partners
in taking forward this Joint Signature Campaign.
