Peshawar (Pakistan): The event will be held at 10:30 am on October 2, 2001 at the new Peshawar Press Club and the rally will be organised just outside the press club with banners, placards, white flags and a signature campaign for peace. There is a possibility of releasing a dozen or so pigeons as a symbolic gesture. A joint press statement will also be prepared at the end. The main speakers will be Mr. Afrasiab Khattak and Dr. Sarfraz. The day will be observed through out the world with similar activities...since Peshawar might be in the centre of all the force, devastation and cross border action we thought a rather stronger voice for Peace needs to be raised at this end.
