Vinod Kumar, one of the individuals holding the banner, clarified their intention, stating, “We are here to protest against communalism in the country. Tejasvi Surya should focus on fostering brotherhood. It is regrettable that he is preoccupied with making statements that fuel hatred. Therefore, we have displayed the banner calling for the cultivation of love and the eradication of hate. We do not harbor any personal animosity towards him. He should refrain from jeopardizing communal harmony with his statements.”
