The programme organized jointly by Indo-Lanka Hindu People friendship Association and Hindu Religious Federation. The organizers demanded that conversion by coercion must be put an end to. Participants in the rally appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India to facilitate Hindu Buddhist unity.
