Press Release 8th August 2002

Prominent peace activists belonging to Pakistan India Peoples Forum for Peace & Democracy (PIPFPD) from Pakistan and India including I.A. Rehman and Dr. Mubashir Hasan (founding convener of the Forum) of Pakistan Chapter, and Adm. Ramdas (Retd.) and Prof. Sushil Khanna, chairperson and General Secretary of India Chapter met at Delhi on Wed. Aug 7, 2002 to discuss the current crisis in the relations between the two nuclear neighbors.

They noted with concern the hardships inflicted on common citizen- with relations and friends across the border- due to suspension of road, rail and air links as well as the wastage of precious resources due to deployment of a million strong armed personal on the border. Though both the governments claim to be advocating the cause of democracy through elections, attacks on civil and democratic rights of common citizens have increased. Brutal carnage of Muslims in Gujarat and attack on Christians in Pakistan are a direct result of patronage provided to such extremist elements by the ruling elites in both the countries. The repressive impact of miltarisation and communalisation of society due to the stand off is most prominent in attacks and repression of women, where socially sanctioned gang rapes and barbaric practices like Sati have increased.

The PIPFPD leaders demand from the government of Pakistan and India:

1. Immediate pullback of troops to peace stations, end to threats to attack each other and resumption of contacts between area commanders and Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs).
2. Restoration of full diplomatic relations by allowing the High Commissioners to return to their posts and resumption of talks to settle all outstanding issues including Kashmir.
3. Immediate restoration of rail, road and air links between the two countries and an end to all obstacles to people-to-people contacts, including liberalising of the visa regime.
4. Take positive steps to promote contact between civil society groups, artists, journalists, etc. and an end to the policy that demonises each other through the media and other channels.
5. Launch sincere efforts to put an end to medieval and barbaric social practices and meet out exemplary punishment through special courts to those targeting women, children and political and religious minorities.
