Paying rich tributes to his fellow colleague, Hawara stressed on the need for Panthic unity to accomplish the mission for which martyrs like Dilawar Singh have sacrificed their lives. He appealed to various Sikh groups active in Panthic field to stop indulging in internecine feud and clashes among each other as it was detrimental to the cause of the martyrs.
