Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president CR Paatil and state home minister Harsh Sanghavi were also supposed to be part of the event, however they could not reach Ahmedabad in time for it.

“At a time when Ukraine and Russia are engaged in war and people are awaiting the possibility of the third world war, the significance of such a rally that promotes world peace becomes even more significant,” said Amin.
