Petition to end India-Pakistan conflict & bring prosperity to the dispossessed millions
Dear Sirs:
India and Pakistan have spent billions of dollars to fund their conflict for over the last 60 years. The obstinate stand to continue this conflict has brought poverty, ignorance and avoidable suffering to many millions.
Today both countries are home to over 15 percent of world’s people but contribute to only five percent of world’s GDP. More than 40 percent of world’s illiterate men and women live in these two countries and over 25 percent of their population live in sheer poverty, while the two countries import 10 percent of world’s conventional weapons for a war which will never be! It shows how colossal are the costs of this conflict!
We, the undersigned, call on you to make a public resolve now to end this conflict and divert your attention and public monies to bring prosperity to the dispossessed millions of women, children and men.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
