Participants expressed a deep-seated resolve to continue their forefathers’ struggle for self-determination amidst ongoing challenges.
Speakers at the rallies highlighted the persistent sacrifices of Kashmiris since 1947, noting the increasing brutalities and demographic changes being enforced in occupied Jammu and Kashmir. They criticized the implementation of new domicile laws that they claim disenfranchise the local population, as well as efforts by the Indian government to alter the region’s ethnic and cultural landscape.
