Congratulations to the youth of Gilgit Baltistan for sucessfully concluding the longest peace walk of Pakistan.
Your noble cause of peace was very much welcomed by everyone all the way up to Karachi.
It was a wonderful coincidence that two peace initiatives (Kunjrav-Karachi Peace Walk 2009 and Wakhi Week 2009 by GECA) on national level were organized by the citizen of Gilgit-Baltistan at this time where terrorists have created a war like situation in Pakistan.
This shows the commitment on part of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan for creation of a peaceful and progressive Pakistan.

Dear Ajaz and Asgar,Congratulation for completiing your objective and for your life time achievement.It was not an eassy job but your determination and committement made this possible to travel such a long distance in a very short time.This peace walk of two young gays spread the massage to the Nation that every thing is possible if we determined to our responsibilitis and duty.If we learn a lesson from these gays and pay our responsibilities for peace and harmony in our beloved country ;we can easily eliminate the handful terrerests and enemies of Pakistan.

Congratulations to the two young boys for initiating a peace walk and this is exemplary for our youths and next generation.
Islam in true manner is religion of peace and some people made this religion in pieces unfortunately for the cause of political purposes.
We hope this type of peace activities should be initiated and should encourage.
