“The hate game between India and Pakistan should end now”: Darakhshan

On Indo-Pak Love & Peace Day Darakhshan sends her Valentine Message to Pakistan

“The hate game between India and Pakistan should end now. It has ruined two generations of the people of this state and we cannot afford to transfer this bloody legacy to our new generation. Peace and goodwill should replace terrorism and bloodshed,” said Socialistic Democratic Party President Dr Darakhshan Andrabi while addressing at the Indo-Pak Love & peace Day celebration organized by Socialistic Democratic Party as usual on the eve of Valentine’s Day at the Octroi Post on the Indo-Pak border in Suchetgarh area of Jammu today. Earlier she led her supporters in lighting candles in front of the image of Shaheed Lans Nayak Hem Raj who was beheaded by Pakistani troops at LOC in Poonch recently.  Shaheed was given a floral tribute on the occasion. The inscription on the image read: “We salute you for the great sacrifice you made. We cannot tolerate the disrespect of our brave soldiers anymore.” Dr Darakhshan Andrabi sent messages of love through white pigeons whom she flew to Pakistan in which an appeal was made to the politicians and the army top brass of that country to kindly desist from using guns in Jammu & Kashmir and change their policy of hatred and conspiracies for the good of the people of J&K specially and that of  the populace of both the countries generally. Dr Darakhshan and her team dispatched five hundred heart shaped balloons across the border with messages of love and peace printed on them. “Ours is a people’s initiative and only such public initiatives on both sides of the fence  will be instrumental in changing the six decade old hatred and ultimately change the situation of misfortunes to a situation of trust and love,” said Dr Darakhshan Andrabi. She said that gun culture had ruined Pakistan to the core and the country was being run by the terrorists there making the safety of common man causality there. “India and Pakistan have faced the brunt of terrorism and in spite of targeting each other; we should join hands to fight the propagators and executers of hatred in whole sub-continent. That will be good for both of us,” said Darakhshan Andrabi.
