In a daylong function, speakers from Punjab, AP, Delhi, West Bengal, Karnataka threw light on people’s movements in various parts of India and called upon the civil society actors to reach “people of India” and make them understand “Kashmir dispute and human rights violations here.”
“The support of people of India is necessary for Kashmiris because media is presenting only one sided picture of the Kashmir issue,” said a speaker summing up the importance of mass awareness campaign about the issue.
