Swami Muktidanandaji of Sri Ramakrishna Ashram, who also graced the occasion, gave a clarion call to people to stop fighting in the name of religion and added that Eid Milan was an occasion for one and all to understand each other. The Swamiji, who said that no religion preached hatred, added that all religions preach love and communal harmony.
