INDIA PAKISTAN PEACE MARCH
Delhi to Multan, 23rd March to 11th May 2005
Press Invite
India Pakistan Peace March started on 23rd March from New Delhi. This
people to people initiative is lead by Dr.Sandeep Pandey, Magsaysay
Awardee and noted social activist, with the objective of building
peace & harmony between two countries. The march was well received by
citizens along its route and after walking around 500 kms, the
marchers reached Wagha border on 20th April.
Nine Pakistani Marchers were able to get visas and clearances from
Indian and Pak governments. They historically walked on Indian roads
for the cause of peace from 14th April to 20th April. However, the
visas have not been granted to Indian Marchers, they could not cross
wagha and walk on Pakistan roads. In spite of Sandeep Pandeyís
meeting with Pak Prime Minister Shoukat Aziz on 12th March in
Islamabad and Pak PMís assurances for supporting the cause, Indian
Marchers did not get visas to walk across.
Pakistani peace marchers have crossed Wagha border on 20th April and
they will walk to Multan (Pakistan) where March will end on 11th of
May with concluding ceremony.
To express our feelings in this regard and give more information
about our plans further, we are arranging the press conference.
