PDP Calls Protests Demanding Restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's Special Status
On the eighth anniversary of Jammu and Kashmir's special status abrogation, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti led calls for district-wide demonstrations demanding the restoration of Articles 370 and 35A. While Mufti emphasized identity and special status as core issues, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah highlighted the need to restore statehood first. The PDP held protests and a candlelight march in Srinagar, expressing opposition to the 2019 decision and urging dialogue and administrative justice in the region.
