"I want to inform that on August 17, a day before Raksha Bandhan, an International Raksha Bandhan festival will be organised at the Talkatora Stadium," he said.
The senior RSS leader made the announcement during a symposium, organised here by Vishwagram Trust, titled 'Peace, People and Possibilities in Kashmir'.
"You all are invited to first International Raksha Bandhan festival," he told the audience at the two-day event that concluded today.
"Representatives from more than 30-40 countries and intellectuals, litterateurs and people like you and I will be attending in the event."
Kumar said, "Raksha Bandhan is a festival which can provide way for answers to many global problems."
"This would be a successful experiment and don't come alone, bring along your children and others also," he added.
