Passing a declaration at the annual event held to remember those killed in the communal violence triggered during the 1947 partition, members of Hind-Pak Dosti Manch, Folklore Research Academy, Punjab Jagriti Manch and South Asia Free Media Association (SAFMA) also sought early reopening of Kartarpur Corridor.

They also urged the governments of India, Pak and Bangladesh to resolve all bilateral issues through dialogue only. Seeking reopening of the international trade through Attari-Wagah border, they also carried out a candle light vigil near the border in memory of those killed during the Partition.
