Mukesh Rishi, Preeti Sapru join 'Unity March' in Pahalgam ahead of National Unity Day

Actors Mukesh Rishi and Preeti Sapru join multi-faith Unity March in Pahalgam, honoring terror attack victims and promoting communal harmony ahead of National Unity Day.

"We can never forget the day, but it taught us a lesson that we should stay united - Mukesh Rishi"

Srinagar, October 30

Actors Mukesh Rishi and Preeti Sapru joined a multi-faith delegation, comprising religious leaders, for the Unity March in Pahalgam ahead of the National Unity Day.

Organised by the Indian Minorities Federation, the Unity March aimed to deliver the message of "United India" and "communal harmony".

During this time, floral tributes were also offered to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 people at the Balidaan Stambh, followed by multifaith prayers.

Several Kashmiri women and young girls also tied 'Raksha Sutra' as a tie of gratitude to the Indian Army personnel.

The message of "United India" and "communal harmony" from Pahalgam showcased the spirit of the country, i.e., "India is One Nation, and no evil forces could disintegrate it."

Speaking at the Unity March, actor Mukesh Rishi explained the purpose of remembering the lost souls.

"The motive behind coming here was to remember the people who lost their lives during the tragic incident of April 22. We can never forget the day, but it taught us a lesson that we should stay united. There should be no difference between the states," Mukesh Rishi said.

Preeti Sapru, while addressing the crowd, said, "All the people of Kashmir are united. Our Kashmiri brothers are working across the country, and India belongs to all of them."

Ahead of National Unity Day, the Srinagar Police organised a "Run for Unity" on Thursday to mark Rashtriya Ekta Diwas, celebrating the legacy of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. National-level players, including Parvez Rasool, joined the event to encourage youth participation in sports.

The 150th birth anniversary of the Iron Man and architect of a united India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, will be celebrated on October 31 at the Statue of Unity in Ekta Nagar, reflecting the spirit of "Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat."

Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's birth anniversary is celebrated across India as National Unity Day.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish such unity marches weren't just symbolic gestures. We need concrete policies that ensure equal opportunities for all Kashmiris in education and employment. Real unity comes from economic empowerment.

As someone who has visited Kashmir multiple times, I can say the people there are the most hospitable. Events like these help break stereotypes and show the true spirit of Kashmiriyat. Well done!
