Malik informed the visitors at the exhibition about the Safar-e-Azadi campaign.
He said that the bulk of participators in the Safar-e-Azadi campaign were womenfolk of the valley.
The popular pro-freedom leader, Malik stressed that the Kashmiris want to have a “main party status” to the Kashmir dispute and added that New Delhi and Islamabad should respect the sentiments of the people of Kashmir.
