Dear
friends,
The
mission for universal peace and harmony, particularly peace
in South Asia, which late Didi Nirmala Deshpande lived and worked
for till 1st May 2008, the last day of her 79 years of life
in this world, calls upon all of us, especially the people of
South Asia, to own it as our own cause and strive collectively
for its accomplishment.
An
urn containing late Didi Nirmala’s ashes was brought to Karachi
from Delhi yesterday by Karamat Ali and B.M.Kutty, who had attended
the last rites of Didi on Friday, 2nd May. Two Federal Ministers,
Sherry Rehman and Qamaruzzaman Kaira and a former MNA Ch. Manzoor
Ahmed also attended the ceremony in Delhi.
As
you know, late Didi was an ardent advocate of lasting peace
and friendship between India and Pakistan. She loved the people
of Pakistan as much as she loved the people of India. Her vision
knew no frontiers. It was her wish that after her death, apart
from the rivers of India and other South Asian/Asian countries,
her ashes should be immersed in the Sindhu (Indus) river as
a mark of her love for Pakistan.
We
are proposing a meeting representing all sections of society
who stand for peace, human rights and social justice and all
those who have had the opportunity to be associated with Nirmala
Didi’s mission in one way or other, on Friday 9th May 2008 at
4.30 P.M. at Jinnah Medical & Dental College Auditorium,
Shaheed-e-Millat Road, Karachi . to consider the following matters:
Arrangements
to be made for the immersion of late Didi Nirmalaji’s ashes
and drawing the outlines of how to work for furthering her unfinished
mission in Pakistan.
•
To decide on the point - Kotri, Sukkur, Punjnad, Attock or any
other - where the immersion is to take place and the date and
time thereof.
• Logistics relating to transportation of the ashes out of Karachi
to the point of immersion.
• Draw the outlines of how to work for furthering the mission
of late Nirmala Dadi.
• Any other matter as proposed in the meeting.
It
would be highly appreciated if you kindly ensure your participation
in this important meeting.
Sincerely
Syed Shamsuddin
Secretary
Association of Peoples of Asia Sindh Organising Committee
