The Indian Youth Congress organised the march in Lutyens' Delhi to commemorate Swami Vivekananda's 157th birth anniversary, which is also observed as the National Youth Day.

According to Youth Congress, the march was in solidarity with the "brave citizens" who have been raising their voices against various contentious issues even in the face of police "brutality" across the country.
The march was led by IYC President Srinivas BV, who said, "Swami Vivekananda held up the idea of nationalism based on oneness and unity of people and today, there are elements in the country who are trying to dilute his idea by breaking this unity."
"People of this country are witnessing a dictatorial regime where the British policy of divide and rule is seen being imposed. Leaders have forgotten the core philosophy and idea of these masters," he said.
