He ridiculed the divisive forces who were bent upon disintegrating the nation for their ulterior motives. He said that J&K was part and parcel of the country and unfurling the national flag was birth right of every Indian. He said that the motive of separatists, who were attempting to keep Jammu and Kashmir as separate identity would not be fulfilled as they are not well wishers and true citizens of the country.

Addressing the mammoth gathering at Una, Prof. Prem Kumar Dhumal said that Yatra was launched from Kolkatta on 12th January, 2011 on the birthday of Swami Vivekanand and the home land of late Shri Shyama Prasad Mukherjee.
