PDP Plans August 5 Protests Demanding Article 370 Restoration in Jammu and Kashmir
The People's Democratic Party (PDP), led by Mehbooba Mufti, announced plans for peaceful protests across Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, demanding the restoration of Article 370 and statehood. The party also called for dialogue among the region's areas, release of political detainees, and economic compensation for power deficits. While Mufti emphasized peaceful democratic engagement as the path to lasting peace, the BJP accused her of aligning with Pakistan's agenda. The PDP also urged the relocation of Army personnel from civilian areas where militancy has declined.
