Hyderabad: For three consecutive days, ceasefire at the border was violated, resulting in the death of one Indian jawan and a civilian. A signature campaign was launched in the city on Saturday with the people of Hyderabad coming together and demanding peace between the two countries.
Speaking at the launch of a signature campaign, ‘Peace Now and Forever’, former Chief of Naval staff and war veteran, Admiral Laxminarayan Ramdas said another war would bring nothing positive for both countries. “We must become a collective and resist the war mongering”, said Admiral Ramdas.
He also spoke of how both countries were in-vesting more on defence than on public governance. “The war will benefit only the global arms dealers,” observed Admiral Ramdas.
According to MHA, 37 were killed last year in 437 ceasefire violations between the two countries. The Peace Now and Forever campaign is organised by Confederation of Voluntary Organisation (COVA) and other organisation, where signatures from over 200 cities and towns in Pakistan and India would be collected and handed over to the respective governments.
