Former Prime Minister of AJK, Raja Mohammad Farooq Haider Khan, and other leaders like Abdul Rasheed Tarabi, Muhammad Farooq Rehmani, Ghulam Muhammad Safi, Syed Yusuf Naseem, Altaf Hussain Wani, and Ghulam Nabi Butt participated in the demonstration.
APHC-AJK leaders and other speakers addressed the rally, expressing concerns about Indian state terrorism in the occupied territory. They emphasized that India has no right to celebrate Republic Day in Jammu and Kashmir, as it occupies the region against the will of the Kashmiri people.
The speakers condemned India’s attempts to change the demography of the occupied territory and called on the international community to play a role in resolving the Kashmir dispute for lasting peace in South Asia.
