Jashn e Azadi Grand Mela 2013: A Peace Initiative: 16th August 2013 and 17th August 2013

Dear Readers,
 
Greetings of the day!
As you are aware, that in the Asian history of 66 years, it has never happened that the people of India and Pakistan have celebrated their Independence Day viz. 14th August for Pakistan and 15th August for India under one roof, anywhere across the globe. We had taken this initiative to bring two communities at one place and allow them to celebrate this great event with fun, fair and entertainment. On the occasion of Indian and Pakistani Independence Day, we were going to organize Jashn e Azadi Grand Mela 2013 for communities of both of these countries on 16th and 17th August 2013. The event, consisting of funfair and concert by Artists from India and Pakistan, would have taken place in Al Nasr Leisureland, Oud Metha, situated in the heart of Dubai. We were sure that this peace initiative started from Dubai, UAE would go a long way and become a catalyst of Peace between two nations and prove a landmark in the coming International History.
 We are thankful to our various well-wishers and lovers of peace who have given us unexpected support and response for the event, which is much beyond our imagination.
 However, due to certain vested interests, who do not want peace between two nations, the pressure started to mount to stop this peace initiative. To scuttle our planned and widely publicized peace initiative in the form of combined Jashn e Azadi Mela 2013, even some of the Groups have gone to the extent of holding separate events of same nature with individual country names to create the chaos.  
After carefully reviewing the situation in the name of peace and with a heavy heart, we announce postponement of this peace initiative till next year.

We assure all the peace lovers that our efforts will nevertheless continue to bring peace amongst both the nations and would celebrate Jashn e Azadi in the coming years with the same motto and with more vigour.
