It was decided that on July 12, 2014, Hurriyat would organize a seminar titled “13 July 1931- The starting chapter of the Kashmir Freedom Movement” at Hurriyat headquarters. It was also decided that a resolution on the political stand and line of action for the resolution of Kashmir issue, based on the Hurriyat constitution would be passed at this occasion.On July 13, 2014, the APHC Chairman would lead a peaceful rally from historic Jamia Masjid to Mazar-e-Shuda Naqashbandh Sahab (RA) to pay tributes to the July 13, 1931 martyrs and offer a collective Fateh Khwani.
