Speaking on the occasion, the Chairperson lashed out at Indian fascist regime for the continued and unabated state barbarism to suppress the voice of freedom fighters. She said that hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris were massacred by the forces of Maharaja Hari Singh, Indian Army and Hindu extremists in different parts of Jammu region while they were migrating to Pakistan during the first week of November in 1947.
She said that the Jammu massacre was the worst chapter in the history of Jammu and Kashmir, as there is no precedent of such barbarism in the contemporary world.

However, she said that despite the rising brutalities by Indian forces the spirit for freedom ignited with each passing day.

She said that the chain of killing that started from Jammu in 1947 is still continuing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir and so far over four hundred thousand Kashmiris have been martyred for demanding their right to self-determination. She said that Hindutva forces were trying to repeat the 1947 Jammu massacre in Kashmir as well.
