Asserting that the World Culture Festival by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Art of Living will bring glory to India, Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu said on Friday that the event must not be politicised as it celebrates diversity.

"World Culture Festival by Art of Living will bring glory to India. let's not politicise this. 36000 artists participating in one event is in itself a record. Its a cultural event 2 celebrate diversity. Let's celebrate & join d festival," Naidu said in a series of tweets.

Reiterating the government's stand on the involvement of the Indian Army in the construction for the event, he added that an 'unnecessary fuss' was being created about the Army building pontoon bridges for the mega festival.
