NEW DELHI: Scores of journalists, teachers and students took to the streets on Saturday to express solidarity with Pakistani people in their struggle against terrorism and US drone attacks. The Forum for Democratic Initiatives (FDI) organised the protest. The protesters said they favoured better ties between both countries. Delhi University teacher Radhika Menon lamented that the Indian government was supporting drone attacks in Pakistan’s Tribal Areas. “We are here to oppose American attacks as well as terrorism and extremism within Pakistan. These are inter-linked issues,” she said. Menon also called on New Delhi to resume peace process and promote people-to-people contacts between the two countries. Noted journalist Jawed Naqvi said India should not remain a silent spectator to what is happening in Pakistan. “Pakistanis need us. They are fighting a grim battle against terrorism and imperialist invasion,” he said. iftikhar gilani
