Students raised slogans in support of the people of Kashmir and carried Kashmiri flags and placards to express their solidarity. In his message on the occasion, LUMHS Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Ikram Din Ujjan said that the occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by Indian forces on October 27, 1947, marked a dark chapter in history.

The Vice Chancellor stated that the sacrifices and struggle of the Kashmiri people could not be forgotten and stressed that they should not be deprived of their fundamental rights and right to self-determination. He said the Kashmir issue was not merely a matter between two countries but an important international issue requiring the attention and meaningful role of the global community.
Prof. Dr. Ikram Din Ujjan urged the international community to pay attention to the situation in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir and the protection of the rights of its people. He reaffirmed LUMHS’s solidarity with the Kashmiri people and its support for their legitimate rights and right to self-determination.
