According to details, conveners and secretaries appointed respectively are: Allama Basharat Hussain Imami and Z.A. Raja (Islamabad), Maj.

Kazmi (Sarhad), Syed Lutfullah Shah Lakyari and Allama Waqar Hassan Taqvi (Sindh), Muhammad Ali Advocate and Nisar Ali (Balochistan), and Riaz Kazmi and Zulfiqar Hussain Kazmi (Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas).

Addressing the gathering, M.H. Jafri called upon the government to maintain the law and order situation on the occasion of Youm-ul-Huzn throughout the country while people should remain alert themselves and give priority to unity, brotherhood and integrity of the country.

A resolution unanimously adopted on the occasion strongly condemned the ongoing State terrorism in Kashmir and Palestine, hostage-making of innocent people in Iraq, tragic incidents of chopping of heads, massacre of women and children and desecration of dead bodies, declaring these acts of brutality a slap in the face of international organisations. The resolution made it clear that remaining silent on oppression itself is a great oppression.
