They said that he had a firm stance for the liberation of Jammu and Kashmir from Indian occupation.

The speakers said other illegally detained Kashmiris lodged in different jails are being deliberately pushed to death. They said that the Indian authorities were so mush afraid of the personality of Syed Ali Gilani shaheed that after his martyrdom, the veteran leader was forcibly buried in the darkness of night by the Indian forces and his relatives and people were not allowed to attend his funeral prayers and last rites.

The speakers reiterated their commitment to carry forward the mission of Baba-e-Hurriyat Syed Ali Gilani and to render any kind of sacrifice for this purpose. At the end, the participants prayed for the martyred leader and expressed solidarity with the bereaved family.
