Our aim is not to only talk about peace but to involve people particularly women from both the communities. At Bhatpara, the focus of the initiative is to develop self-help groups with women of both communities. This will not only help in their economic empowerment but also strengthen the bond between the two communities. This picnic is a test for us, how we can practice co-existence and prepare ourselves for never-ending peace.

Read moreWe strongly oppose this war. We unequivocally state that the Geneva Conventions and other international treaties and declarations must not be violated. Both countries are equipped with nuclear weapons and should act responsibly. India supported global nuclear disarmament and had submitted resolutions to the UN General Assembly advocating for a nuclear weapons convention. Pakistan had pledged no first use against non-nuclear states. Pakistan’s policy on first use against the country possessing nuclear weapons, particularly India, remains unclear. But if the war escalates, all the promises and treaties can be invalidated in a moment. We firmly demand restriction of nuclear arms. We hope that all the peace-loving common people of the both countries will stand against this war.
