STATEMENT:
Reacting to the increased tensions between India and Pakistan in recent
weeks, members of the Indian and Pakistani communities living in Boston
plan to demonstrate for peace.
Recognizing that war between the two countries will neither resolve the
issue of Kashmir nor solve any of the other problems facing the two
countries but will further exacerbate the living condition of the people
of South Asia, community members from both India and Pakistan will stand
together in solidarity to reaffirm their commitment to peace and justice
in the region.
Several local community groups will issue brief statements, accompanied
with traditional music and poetry expressing sentiments of unity and
friendship.
Co-sponsors include:
