They said humanity is being suppressed in India every day but the international community and civilized nations remain a silent spectator.

The participants of the rally raised high-pitched slogans in favour of Pakistan and against India.
Other rallies were held by the citizens holding banners, placards and black flags and marched in different parts of the AJK .
