"Democracy cannot be limited to elections alone. It means giving every student the right to speak, participate and be heard," he said. Jakhar said universities are not merely centres of education but spaces where young people learn about democracy, constitutional rights, equality and dissent.

He also stressed the need for dialogue and respect for differing opinions on university campuses, saying different ideas should be allowed to coexist and students should be able to raise genuine concerns without intimidation or suppression. The march also focused on the importance of the Constitution and democratic values, with participants reaffirming their commitment to freedom, equality, fraternity, constitutionalism and democratic participation.
