Speaking to , the Chairman of National Equality Party JKGBL Prof. Sajjad Raja said, "Rich tributes were paid to the founder of the State, Maharaja Gulab Singh and it was declared that the State was founded by a Hindu King and it shall be saved by taking Hindus of the State on-board now".

He added, "JKGBL leaders addressed the event and said that they will face Pakist establishment all over the world and would turn no stone unturned to expose Pakistan for promoting religious extremism, militancy and jihad in the State".
