Addressing the gathering, Folklore Research Academy general secretary Satnam Singh Manak said all those organisations which are keen to have close and harmonious relations between the two countries were coming together to hold the event. He said these programmes would offer them an opportunity to appeal to governments to resolve all their bilateral issues peacefully through dialogue. He asserted that they were against war between the two countries as bloodshed does not solve any issue but exaggerate them.

At the same time, he strongly criticised the massacre of innocent tourists by terrorists in Pahalgam and appealed to the government of Pakistan to stop patronising terrorist organisations.
