The catastrophic floods in Pakistan that have claimed over 1,000 lives already make it all the more urgent to ease restrictions between the countries and allow food aid and trade to take place. 

"Wish both India & Pakistan had friendly relationship I would have pledged all proceeds from the sale of book for the victims of disastrous floods in Pakistan" tweeted Raminder Jit Singh (@ramindersays), a "Sikh from Jammu & Kashmir" who has recently published a book titled Immaculate Thoughts. The scale of destruction "leaves one benumbed"

This is what we are saying. Let people meet, help each other.

The floods have caused food prices to rise, to the extent that Pakistan is considering opening duty-free import to ease the situation. The government is also considering reviving imports through the land border with India to bring down vegetable prices.

People want to meet and help each other. Why are governments standing in their way?

Please keep sharing this petition and bringing friends and family on board.

Thank you.
