I would like to congratulate the initiators and co-sponsors of the series of seminars being held under the aegis of the Aman ki asha campaign. Holding such seminars and symposiums will certainly help to create better understanding and consensus on both sides to settle the key issues that have marred the socio-economic development in the subcontinent. In the changing scenario of the world, civic bodies, intelligentsia and the media have assumed an important role and have been contributing immensely in seeking solutions to contentious issues through dialogue and reconciliation. I hope the most vibrant media groups of India and Pakistan -the Jang Group and the Times of India Group – will work together for long to push forward the peace process.
In this highly volatile region peace is desperately needed for the well-being of the millions of people living below the poverty line. Instead of wasting time, India and Pakistan will have to take some bold initiatives and build a solid foundation to move towards conflict resolution. I wish all the best to Aman ki Asha and hope this initiative will really bring a pleasant change in the region.
