The participants were carrying placards and banners, and raised slogans, expressing moral, diplomatic and political support to the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir for their right to self-determination in accordance with the United Nations Security Council resolutions. 

The president called upon the international community to ensure implementation of its promises made to the people of IIOJK regarding their legitimate right to self-determination in accordance with their aspirations.

He said that the day was not far when the oppressed people of IIOJK would get freedom from the Indian clutches.
