Society8217;s plea for restraint

The Society urged the people to shed their passivity so as to make the two government agree to a no-war pact. He felt that both the countries should show restraint and make a sincere bid for total disarmament.

It was also observed that in the countries where the millions of people were living below the poverty line, the resources should be channelized towards social development rather than on expenditure on arms and armaments, said P.P. Arya, convenor of Janshakti in a press release here today.
