They said the activists sang Pakistan's national anthem at the event.
Addressing the activists, Andrabi said Kashmir is the "jugular vein of Pakistan and its freedom is an obligation of Pakistan".
"Kashmiri Muslims have been celebrating Pakistan Day for seven decades because it has historical and religious significance... Jammu and Kashmir is a part of Pakistan and will practically become a part of Pakistan," she said.
A documentary, released by Hafiz Saeed-led Jamat-ud-Dawa, was also screened on the occasion.
