He said that "Jammu and Kashmir is the crown of India and India is the crown of the world. 'Sare Jahan Se Acha Hindustan Hamara' is the reality, as this country belongs to all faiths equally without any discrimination for anybody. Brotherhood, harmony and peace are all we seek at such revered places."
He added that we are all working hard to re-establish the era of permanent peace, prosperity and brotherhood here.

He added, “The roots of terrorism and separatism have weakened. Today’s march sends a clear message that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) is also part of India and will one day return under the shadow of the tricolor. No power can break India’s unity and sovereignty.”
