While interacting with the media after performing the consecration ceremony, CM Yogi emphasised that the water sent by the Aghan girl carried with itself the fear, pain and suffering of several Afghan women.

CM Yogi said, "Before starting the ritual, a target was set to bring in holy water from around the holy places of the globe. It was also decided that holy water from Hindu pilgrimage sites will also be brought and poured here."

CM Yogi correlated that the Afghan girl must have also had a similar kind of mindset while approaching PM Narendra Modi to make her appeal.

He concluded by saying, "I am fortunate that I have been selected to carry out this task which held the emotions of all citizens of Kabul who were in a state of suffering. "
