He further added, "The campaign has become a people's movement. Ordinary men and women posted heart-touching videos and messages, conveying their sentiments in the memory of our Armed Forces. Hundreds of residents of Laddakh also joined this campaign in demanding to protect our land."
In the online campaign, Congress party raised questions from the Central Government over the reported Chinese transgressions into Indian territory, including, "How and when will Modi Government ensure that our land is restored back to us? How does the Modi government propose to repulse Chinese transgressions? Why is Prime Minister giving contradictory statements undermining the valour of our armed forces?"

While speaking over the success of the campaign, Surjewala said, "This is the voice of the nation. No matter how hard Modi government tries to crush the voice of India, through selected news channels and manufactured disinformation campaign, the people of India will not rest and will not allow anyone to occupy our motherland at any cost. The onus lies upon the Modi government to hear the voice of nation and act."
