Peace Rally: Indian-Pakistani Community in Greater Vancouver
JANUARY 1, 2009
1:30 p.m.
Punjabi Market, Surrey, BC (Scott Road @ 92nd Ave)
We urge all our members and friends to join in this Rally, on the first day of the new year. Let a message of Peace and Social Justice be sent to the rulers of India and Pakistan, and to the war-mongers and vested interests in the two societies who are trying to turn a horrible tragedy of terrorist attacks in Mumbai into National jingoism and war hysteria.
Let a clear and loud voice go back to the lands of our origin and let this voice join with similar voices and aspirations of the people of the two counries: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We have fought many wars and none seem to have done any good to the two societies or its people. It is time we leave aside our histories of distrust, hostiities, and animosity. It is time we stop wasting the huge amounts of our scarce resources in the war machinery, and begin to solve the real problems faced by the vast majority of people : probems of deprivation, poverty, social injustices. illiteracy, poor health.
And it is time we begin to deal with our problems and our histories together and with good will - without any need for an outside mediation.
SANSAD congratulates the very many good people in our community who have taken it upon themselves to take this worthy initiative. We fully support it and endorse it.
PLEASE COME AND JOIN THE RALLY ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 1.
