SDPI Welcomes Ceasefire, Urges Lasting Peace

The Social Democratic Party of India extends its heartfelt support for the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. This pivotal step towards peace rekindles hope for millions of families, especially in the border regions of Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir, who have endured the devastating toll of conflict for far too long. This ceasefire is a beacon of humanity, sparing countless lives—youth who might have been lost to war, parents who would have grieved, and communities that would have faced displacement and despair. It reflects the power of dialogue over destruction and offers a chance to prioritize the dreams of ordinary citizens for peace, security, and a dignified future.

The SDPI urges the governments of India and Pakistan to build on this fragile truce through sustained, inclusive diplomacy that addresses the root causes of tension and fosters trust. We call for meaningful engagement with all stakeholders, including civil society, to ensure that peace is not just a pause but a permanent reality. The specter of war must never again overshadow the shared aspirations of our people.
