Biking for peace
By Talib Shah & Faqeer Ullah
Mansehra, January 29 – Muzaffar Bhai Jan, 28, a member of Ismaili Boys Scouts Unit, Ghulkin – Gojal, is cycling his way to Islamabad, on what he calls “Bike for Peace” campaign. It is a historical journey because he, reportedly, is the first native of Gilgit – Baltistan to take this arduous and difficult task for a noble cause.
Muzzafar reached Abbotabad today, having left Gilgit city on 25th January, on his way to Islamabad. “Bike for Peace is an effort to let the world know that people of Gilgit – Baltistan and Pakistan are peaceful and friendly”, he said.
It is pertinent to note here that Muzaffar is in the second phase of his ‘Bike for Peace” campaign, having completed the first phase earlier last year, traveling from Gojal to Gilgit, a distance of 145 kilometers.
Large number of student migrants of Gilgit – Baltistan gathered in Mansehra to appreciate the cause and welcome Muzaffar. The Karakuram Students Organization is also expected to host a welcome party for the young biker.
Dear Muzaffar,
Congratulations for your unique peace initiative. I know you have tremendous potential which is now surfacing on regional and national level.
I would say Thank you very much for keeping alive the innovative tradition of our scout group.
Good Luck !!!!!!

It is really encouraging that Muzafar bayee has started journey for peace and he is also insuring the world that the people of Northren Areas are always willing to keep peace in all beautiful montainious region and throgh this arduous task he is conveying message to all the people of North to remove their all differences, and obviously the same message for our country.
Muzafar Bayee is a yong boy with courage a reknown comedy participated in different cultural shows held in Northren Areas and he is participating in the different development activities held in Ghulkin village.
congratulation Muzafar baye on behalf of my family for taking such a difficult step for a noble cause.

Muzzafar Bhai, i think it is not only a unique call for peace but a great sacrifice for peace, cycling in the frozen mighty Karakurum. how tough job you have done. we know how hard it is to travel in Bus in the month of December but you have cycled that which can be just an imagination for a common people.
i wish you success in your objective and wish you a journey round the world.
congrates

It is a great job undertook by Muzaffar on behalf of Ismaili Scout, Goulkin. It is further encouraging that people of Gilgit-Baltistan have given him due regard and respect for his efforts to highlight a noble cause of peace and tranquility among the all residents of Gilgit-Baltistan. It is one of the most important factors for the people of Gilgit-Baltistan to create unity and peace and leave behind darker aspects of violence.
At a second step it would be highly productive if Ismaili scouts could arrange a series of events with all other communities of Gilgit-Baltistan, which could be named “Aman Games” (Games for peace). Sports and cultural activities have always played important role to bring closer people with divorce cultural, ethnic, religious and political backgrounds. Let’s try it in Gilgit-Baltistan for a good cause.
My appreciation for Muzaffar for his brilliant initiatives.
Muzaffar, Nobel services to make the dwellers of Karakorum (Zamistan) togather.
Great idea and you’re the peace keeper.
I would request to the NGOs working in the Karakorum should give peace award to this young peace keeper.
well done Muzaffar Bhai Jan. its really hard job. Keep the peace process continue.
Dear Muzaffar – Congratulations for your unique and hard initiative. This the way to prove our self we want to peace in our region and country. We youth should take these kind of initiatives.
also Congratulation to ….. Scout Group
Best of luck …… keep it up

Dear Muzaffar Bhai,
It is indeed a great mission you have embarked on and deserve many cheers and appreciations.
It is a great mission encompassing many things for the expatriats, travellers and tourists about the peaceful environement which is prevailing in the region.
Unfortunately the information delivered through media about the geographical location with reference to the political situation is on the contrary to the reality.
We need such big intiatives to stop the miscommunication and wrong interpretation.
Our area can generate huge revenue through tourism but the condition is if every member of the society pays his/her due role in calling a spade a spade.
We have lost quite many things because of the uncertainities prevailing in Swat and WANA and have no geopolitical relationswith them as far as the geographical location is concerned.
I appreciate Muzaffar Bhai for his bravery and determination towards the peace process and hope that it will pave a way towards many horizons for better prospects.
All the very best

great ride brother.

PEACE
Hard, risky, but unique and nice way of expressing our concern about peace and stability in our region and homeland.
Living in a country where peace and security has always been a big issue and until now is a big question mark; I really can see and feel what sort of changes both socially and economically can come to the life of the people when there is peace and harmony among the communities.
I pray, the message of peace you bringing all along from the beautiful villages of the northern Pakistan to the rest of the country will be as beneficial/valuable as the great Indus river flows from the top of our gigantic mountains to fertile the barren land of the rest of the country.
I salute for your unique initiative.
