Hyderabad: Azad Day celebrations kickstarted at Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) on Wednesday with the “Azad Walk for Harmony”, which was flagged off by commissioner of city police M. Mahender Reddy. The walk started from Shah Ali Banda and participants walked along Aliabad, Engine Bowli and Vattepally, finishing at MANUU Model School, Falaknuma after covering a distance of 4 km.
The students were carrying placards with messages of harmony, in both prose and poetry, in Urdu, Telugu, Hindi and English. Traffic and law and order police helped in managing the traffic along the course of the walk.
Explaining the importance of harmony, Prof. S.M. Rahmatullah, in charge registrar MANUU, reminded the audience of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad’s famous quotation, “Today, if an angel were to descend from Heaven and declare from the top of Qutub Minar that India will get Swaraj within 24 hours, provided she relinquishes Hindu-Muslim unity, I will relinquish Swaraj rather than give up Hindu-Muslim unity.”
