The ulema appealed OIC, United Nations and other countries of the world to take serious notice of the deteriorating human rights situation and exert pressure on India to stop bloodshed of Kashmiri Muslims.

Special prayers were also offered for early liberation of IOK and for the progress and stability of Pakistan.
