In the independence struggle against the British, the swords of Hindus & Muslims combined & fought. All communities including Mukkulathor, Dalit & Backward communities combined together and fought.
Let the public support their favourite political parties. Similarly, let them follow their own religious practices. Let the non-believers explain their standpoints. However, let them all unit as Indians and leave peacefully together.
City MDMK Secretary A. Nazeer Khan welcomed the gathering.
Vellore VIT Chancellor Mr. G Viswanathan, the great great grandsons of Tipu Sultan Bakhtar Ali Shah and S M Shahid Alam led the celebrations.
