Dear Friends
It is so heartening to see the posters on our Campus supporting the
Palestinians. At least there ARE people there in Palestine for whom
our hearts can beat, more or less in unison. This disturbing report in
TIME shows how Christians are being decimated in Pakistan. Can we
launch a signature campaign to be sent to the Pakistani Embassy
pleading for clemency? If the Association is so moved, and so kind, as
to put up a summary of this article on the Notice Boards in the
University under its banner--to get the plea-signatures--I offer to
make a summary of the item.
I am sure that our Esteemed Members will not miss the fact that the
accusers of this unlucky woman did not accept water from the accused.
How familiar is this bell? We should also note that liberal and
humanistic Pakistanis are so bravely and openly protesting against
such sentences.
In this context can we invite our Professors Javed Alam, Kancha
Ilaiah, and other like-minded Elders and Enlightened to a meeting
where they can express their take on this issue?
I eagerly await a positive response.
Regards
Veda Sharan
