M Y Tarigami, while addressing the convention, appealed to various political parties including the All Party Hurriyat Conference to fight against the on-going blood-shed of innocent people in the state.

"Let us evolve a consensus that killing of innocent people be stopped. If we do not take steps in this direction, the state will be ruined", he said. Tarigami further said that consistent efforts to destroy the age-old traditions of communal harmony, tolerance and brotherhood are being made. Selective killings of different communities at regular intervals are perpetrated in a calculated manner to dismantle the very basis of our composite culture and pluralist society. The recent killing of 35 Sikhs in Chattisinghpora in Anantnag is also a part of the design, he said. "Sufferings of the people should unite us. Stop saying Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs were killed. Take it in a spirit that bloodshed of our breather is continuing," he appealed.

Tarigami appealed to all secular parties, including the secular allies of the BJP in NDA government to "save" India from fascist forces, He also pleaded for creating an atmosphere for immediate Indo-Pak dialogue so that efforts to resolve the issues are made instead of spending huge sums on armaments.
