The father of Ankit Saxena name Yashpal Saxena is giving Party to celebrate the holy month of Ramzan. He will organise Iftaar party on 3 June nearby his home in Raghubeer Nagar where Ankit was murdered. The motive behind killing him was communal. His father motive behind organising an Iftaar party is to give a message of social harmony and remove hatred based on religion.

Yashpal Singh lost his son because of Hindu Muslim hatred and it was obvious for him to be angry with every Muslims. But he took a different approach and choose the path of love and peace instead of hate and agony. He tried to protect the death of his son from Hindu and Muslim political debate.
