While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish politicians would show this same unity in everyday governance too. Partition remembrance shouldn't be just an annual photo-op.

My nani used to tell us how they walked for weeks from Lahore to Delhi with just the clothes on their back. This march is a fitting tribute to all those who suffered. #NeverForget

Good to see leaders from different parties coming together for this. Partition was a collective tragedy that affected all communities. We must learn to live in harmony now.

The real tribute would be to remove all traces of division from our society today. Still see too much hatred based on religion and region. When will we learn?

Heartwarming to see students participating. The younger generation must know about our history. Maybe schools should organize more such events throughout the year.
