- Pakistan, India need to resolve all contemporary conflicts
Aaghaz-e-Dosti Pakistan and Hum Sab Aik Hain organised ‘Chiraagh-e-Aman Jalao’ with a belief in peace and harmony in South Asian region and the whole world, collectively.
Mainly there are two reasons why ‘Chiraagh-e-Aman Jalao’ was organised. Firstly, in August 2017, Pakistan and India are going to be 70 years old, and even after all this time, the two countries need to resolve all their contemporary conflicts including border disputes.
The effort was also a very tiny memorial for all violence and hatred provoking incidents resulting in numerous victims. Aaghaz-e-Dosti calls on all actors to regurgitate the significant responsibility of the states in the prevention and resolution of conflicts. It also stresses the importance of peace and humanity and urges all actors to increase their inputs for sustaining peace.
Hum Sab Aik Hain is an organisation formed by a group of young people based in Lahore. The objective of this organisation is to promote peace and harmony among the masses by highlighting, advocating and organising towards discourses and movements to bring about socio-political and economic changes required for a peaceful society.
Aaghaz-e-Dosti seeks to enhance people-to-people relations. It seeks to become the medium to discover and recognise the misrepresented reality on the other side of the border. It was started in 2012 by Mission Bhartiyam, an India-based youth organisation. It has collaborated with several organisations in the past but from May 2017, Aaghaz-e-Dosti became a joint initiative of Mission Bhartiyam and the Pakistan-based Hum Sab Aik Hain.
