Delegation for Peace and Justice to Kashmir

From June 29th to July 12th 2006, Asha Parivar is going to organize the visit of a Delegation for Peace and Justiceto Kashmir.

When we went there to carry out relief work after the earthquake we felt that calamities like earthquake, that are of physical nature, are probably easier to handle than the continuous terror under which people of Kashmir have to live. There is every day calamity and disaster in the lives of Kashmiri people who have probably forgotten what it is to live like normal human beings free of military and state interference in their lives.

The future is very uncertain for them. They don’t know what tragedy will strike their family tomorrow. When Kashmiris go outside J&K even then they are tormented. They can be picked up by the police anytime for interrogation and have to face harassment everywhere. Asha Parivar had organized a one day fast in support of the human rights of Kashmiri people on January 30^th, 2006 at Rajghat which was attended among others by Professor S.A.R. Geelani.

Hence Asha Parivar has decided to take a delegation of people from different parts of India to understand the stress under which people of Kashmir live and share their grief. The idea is to educate ourselves about the problems of Kashmiri people. The delegation will visit 7 Districts of Kashmir starting from Doda.
