If only we could hear the peaceful flutter of white flags instead of gunfire on the ceasefire line.
If only the roar of warplanes could be replaced by the breath of peace.
Our dream is peace until freedom — a dream born among ruined homes, burned villages, and the lifeless bodies of our martyred children.
We have rebuilt our homes many times after destruction, sacrificing countless lives along the way.
If only TV channels aired songs of peace instead of bloody analyses.
But sadly, fire, blood, hatred, and extremism are dancing all around us today.
It feels like a new war has been declared against humanity itself.
Everywhere are battlegrounds, and towers are ready for the bodies of those being pushed into a frenzy of war.
We talk about peace because it is not just the people of Jammu and Kashmir, but the survival, development, and prosperity of all South Asia that depends on it.
Peace is not just a matter between two countries
— it is a fundamental question for billions in the region.
The ceasefire line is a sensitive border — a single bullet from here can ignite the whole region.
The Indian Prime Minister’s threat to target alleged terrorist camps in Pakistan has only added to the fear of those living along the ceasefire line.
These are the same people who have lived in a constant state of war for years.
They have always been the first and worst victims of every conflict.
Even today, their lives remain under the shadow of bullets, shells, and uncertainty.
The peace that had slowly returned in recent years is once again in danger due to rising military aggression.
Today, the people of the ceasefire line hold not guns, but white flags.
On May 4, at Zero Point in Nakyal, hundreds marched peacefully with white flags in hand.
This was not a typical political rally, but a historic moment of collective awakening.
This march was a cry against war, a voice for peace, and a protest in defense of the right to life of oppressed people.
The campaign by JK NAP and JK NSF sent a clear message across the region:
We do not want war — we want peace.
We do not want shelling, dead bodies, or destroyed villages.
We want peace, joy, dignity, and the right to live freely on our own land.
The demonstrators made it clear: until the people of Jammu and Kashmir are given their right to self-determination under the UN Charter, at least maintain peace on the ceasefire line.
We are not enemies of any nation’s security — but we cannot give up our right to exist.
These white flags are both a silent plea and a peaceful rebellion.
They are knocks for peace, cries from the heart, and a test of conscience.
History is witness: the first strike in every India-Pakistan conflict always falls on the innocent people living along the ceasefire line.
The dead bodies of children, women, elders; broken homes, shattered relationships, burning crops —
These are not just news headlines — this is the daily reality of those who live just to die another day.
Recently, the tragedy in Pahalgam wounded us again. It wasn’t just a wound to Pahalgam — it struck the entire heart of Jammu and Kashmir.
The same is true for the ceasefire line, where a single shell can destroy generations.
Bullets come from guns, but our hearts take the wounds.
We appeal to India: do not target innocent civilians on the ceasefire line in the name of fighting terrorism.
Words can solve what bullets cannot.
The people have made it clear: if the shelling does not stop, more white flags will rise, and protests will echo on the international stage.
This is not a temporary reaction — it is an organized public strategy.
The formation of a Peace and Defense Committee, a Charter of Demands, and the announcement of international diplomatic sit-ins —
All of this proves that the people of the ceasefire line have awakened.
We say to both nations:
For God’s sake, do not turn us into a laboratory for your wars.
We are human beings, not animals.
We want peace, rights, dignity — the right to live.
These white flags are not just symbols of peace —
They are the final cry for humanity’s survival.
They are the guarantee of peace in South Asia. Raise them on every home.
Will the global conscience hear their call?
