Speakers paid tribute to the martyrs of Jammu, recalling the massacre of Muslims in November 1947 by Maharaja Hari Singh’s Dogra forces, Indian troops, and RSS fanatics, during which over 250,000 Muslims were killed, women were abducted, and many Kashmiris were forced to migrate to Pakistan.

They stressed the responsibility to raise global awareness of India’s oppression and to be the voice of those sacrificing their lives, wealth, and honour.
