Anand shared a collage of three images, one of our martyrs wrapped in the tricolour, one of United States of America President Donald Trump delivering a speech and another of the United Kingdom flag vis-a-vis European Union flag amid the Brexit row.  

Starting with lines from one of John Lennon’s popular songs ‘Imagine’, “#IMAGINE there’s no countries, it isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine all the people, living life in peace ... you say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you will join us, and the world will be as one”, Anand wrote that three countries were going through 'testing times', but it was important as citizens 'to hold our peers and and leaders to the highest of standards, challenge political agendas and practice positive prayer/visualization of oneness.'
