The rally was jointly organised by Ruqiya Public School and Madrassa Jamia Ruqiya Lil Banat.

"On August 15, 1947, our country was liberated from the clutches of the British. Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs, everyone made sacrifices to secure this freedom," Ali said. He said that the freedom enjoyed by people today was the result of the sacrifices made by previous generations. "It is thanks to these sacrifices that today, every single person in our country breathes the air of freedom," he said.

The rally brought together students from the school and madrasa, with young female students taking an active part in the celebrations. Participants said that the occasion was an opportunity to honour the national flag and remember the sacrifices made during the freedom movement. The organisers also emphasised the importance of national unity and communal harmony while observing Independence Day. India will celebrate its 80th Independence Day on August 15, marking 79 years since the country gained independence from British rule in 1947.
