"We are Muslims, Alhamdulillah, Islam means peace". Thinking about the past will make us sad. We should move on. Syedah Aasiyah said that Sri Sri instead of preaching peace to the people of Kashmir should preach it to the government forces who have are being cruel to the people of Kashmir. Groups of people HT talked to said that they were brought into the function by "deceit".

"We were told it's an ASHA workers' official meeting and will be provided confirmation letters", said Rukhsana, a worker from Budgam. "We came here at 9 am and were not even offered a glass of water, let alone a meal, up to 3 pm".

"We were not knowing that this Indian guru will be here".

We would not have participated in this event had we known who was to speak. "They should have been clear", said Mohammad.

Amid his recent controversial statements that a Syria-like situation will happen in India if Ram Mandir is not built at Ayodhya, spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shanker's Pagam-e-Muhabbat (Message of Love) for Kashmir proved a nonstarter here on Saturday. Imran was present on the dais and also addressed people before Sri Sri's speech. We have come here for this issue, " he said.

He denied that people were fooled into coming to the event. He said that people were told that there would be "advocacy of their problems".
