The speakers said that 1947 like situation is being created in Jammu region by present rulers who have without any shame started implementing RSS agenda of throwing out Muslims from Jammu region and changing demography of Jammu further.
In 1947, Muslims constituted 66% of the total population in Jammu but more than three Lakh Muslims were massacred and many more forcefully displaced by Hindu chauvinist forces like RSS with the help of rulers of that time hence changing the demography of Jammu belt. Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah in 47 criminally remained silent and did nothing to save Muslims of Jammu but today Kashmiri will not remain aloof from Jammu Muslims and will resist every communal and oppressive move against them, they said.
