Siliguri, Mar 23: Local youths took out a colourful rally here this morning to wish 'Bharat army' members the best in today's summit clash with Australia in the World Cup at The Wanderes. The rallyists, who held aloft the banner 'no war, only cricket in peace', chanted the mantra 'India will make it' while thousands of onlookers joined the chorus. Two tableux, where local youths were dressed up as different Indian cricketers, a 80-feet long tricolour and a flower-made huge cup replica, were the main features of the rally. Explaining the significance of their campaign 'no war only peace', a rallyist said, "We are for peace and for cricket which cement bonds. We are not for war". 'Cheer for India', the organisation which took out the procession, has also made arrangements for showing the final match on a giant screen at city garden.
