Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah chaired a meeting of Opposition parties in Jammu on Tuesday and called for a joint protest on October 10 against the “trampling of constitutional rights” of people of the Union Territory.
“We have jointly decided that on October 10 a peaceful protest will be held against the present condition of J&K, how the Constitution has been suspended, and how our rights have been attacked.” Dr. Abdullah, who is also the president of National Conference, said.
The meeting was attended by Jammu-based parties and the constituents of the Peoples Alliance for the Gupkar Declaration (PAGD), an amalgam formed for a joint fight to restore the pre-August 5, 2019 status of J&K. Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti also attended the meeting.
