The event was aimed to end the atmosphere of  "fear and violence" that is prevailing in the country and to send out a message of communal solidarity. People from all religions - Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism and Christianity participated in the event. 

 

We are united against those who are trying to divide the country, people said. 

 

Sultan Sheikh, a Muslim, was dressed as a Sikh man. "Our Prime Minister talks about recognising someone from the attire. I want him to recognise to which religion I belong," he said, adding that don't try to divide our country. We are united and will live together. 

 

Sant Yuvraj, a follower of Hinduism, said: "We are doing this for the unity and solidarity of the country. All religions are united here. No one should consider Shaheen Bagh as a demonstration of Muslims. Sikh people are chanting Gurbani here while Christians are reading Bible along with Muslims who are reading 'aayats' from Quran and I am performing a 'havan' as a Hindu sant. Even this 'havan' has been organised by all the people irrespective of their religion". 

 

Alexander Fleming, a Christian, said: "This event doesn't belong to any political party, and the Citizenship Amendment Act introduced by the government is against the Muslims".
