The participants of the gathering unanimously passed many resolutions regarding national and international issues.

A resolution appreciated resolve of president Pervez Musharraf in national security council meeting to keep continue ban on radical groups and stopping them from working under new names. It said President’s all steps are right to the extent of lip-service, and the whole nation support these but it is surprising that people of banned outfits are not only roaming freely but also given coverage in government and opposition figures as well as electronic, print and internet media. The resolution posed a question that in such circumstances what does crackdown mean? It stressed that in crackdown against banned groups, only poor and hawkers are being annoyed. Black sheep in the government departments are busy in saving banned elements and entrapping innocent people.

By another resolution, the participants while severely condemning Al-Aimma Bridge Tragedy expressed hearty sympathy with the bereaved families of martyrs and said that whole world denounced this tragedy but complete silence of Arab League and OIC represents bias which is strongly condemnable. On the other, everyone expressed pain on Katrina hurricane rather dozens of countries have declared monetary help and US itself has given $ 687 million aid while oppression is continued in Iraq and people are going to die in draught-stricken countries but who cares.

The resolution expressed solidarity with oppressed Kashmiris and Iraqis and made clear that war against terrorism could not be achieved unless issues of Kashmir and Palestine are resolved.
