During the social action, LPS members distributed refreshing drinks and plants among the public, symbolizing love, peace, and environmental stewardship. The initiative conveyed a powerful message of shared humanity demonstrating how people from different religious backgrounds can come together in moments of grief and remembrance to foster compassion, respect, and unity.
Speakers at the event emphasized that a “Sabeel” is not merely a stall for water but a manifestation of peace, brotherhood, and shared human values. They highlighted that such initiatives help build stronger community bonds and stand as a collective message against division and hate.
Ms. Rabia Dar, Program Coordinator at Bargad, stated that this social action project is part of Bargad and LPS’s broader vision to promote interfaith cooperation, environmental responsibility, and civic engagement. Today, we witnessed a beautiful example of unity, where Muslim and Christian brothers and sisters jointly arranged a sabeel in honor of Muharram. This was not just an event, it was a collective commitment to build a peaceful, inclusive, and respectful society,” she added.
Prominent personalities who attended the event included Qari Muhammad Munir, Pastor Zahid Anwar, Sardar Sunny Singh from the Sikh community, Reverend Dr. Waqas, Minority Councilor Javed Bhatti (UC 236), journalist Zahid Anwar, Chairman Imambargah Ghaziabad Sabir Shah, political worker Ehsan-ul-Haq Vera, social activists Rukhsana Taj and Ejaz Alam, and former councilor Zakia Ali.
