Varanasi: Social change is possible only if dialogue between different communities of the society goes on continuously because the absence of dialogue creates assumptions and misunderstanding leading to uneasiness in the society, said Pascal Tirki. He was addressing a workshop on “Conflict, Dialogue and Social Healing” held from 28-29th Feb. in Varanasi.

He said “our purpose is to create brotherhood and communal harmony through dialogue. We should try to remove small disputes through dialogues.”
Dr Alok Nag, Dean, Vishwa Jyoti Gurukul, while speaking on “Peace, Justice and Deprived community” said society is not peaceful because of injustice. If justice is delivered in time, the deprived community can live peacefully.
Spokesperson of Kashi Vidyapeeth, Suresh Kumar said if values enshrined in Indian Constitution are followed peace will automatically return to the society.

Therefore, it is the duty of concerned groups of society to end such concepts and create the atmosphere of peace and communal harmony.
