He also said that while the world has now began to celebrate vegetarianism, it was the Jains who had begun this practice long ago. He also said that it was time that we moved away from violence and moved towards love and non-violence. He said that as a nation we needed to get rid of the emotions of hatred and move towards love. At the end of the video, he wished them 'michchami dukkdam' and also wished them for the upcoming Ganeshotsav.
