Ashok Thapar, a descendent of Sukhdev, who is president of the Trust, said that Sukhdev, Bhagat Singh and Rajguru sacrificed their life for Independence of the country and as was the current situation, it was imperative to hoist the National Flag in Srinagar and show to everyone that Kashmir was an integral part of India.

Thapar said that activists of BJP, Shiv Sena and local traders of Ludhiana will participate in the march to Srinagar.
Meanwhile, a group of media persons from Jharkhand were also reportedly on their way to Srinagar to hoist the National Flag in the Lal Chowk.
It is to be seen whether the Jammu and Kashmir government allows them to proceed to Srinagar to fly the tricolor.
