National Conference Protests in Delhi Demand Restoration of Jammu and Kashmir Statehood
On July 20, Jammu and Kashmir's National Conference (NC), led by Farooq Abdullah and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, staged a protest in New Delhi demanding the restoration of the region's statehood, a promise made by the central government after the 2019 reorganisation. The protest faced restrictions and was overshadowed by the Cockroach Janta Party's march, with Omar Abdullah resorting to an auto-rickshaw to reach the venue. Despite limited participation from allies and police interventions, NC leaders affirmed their commitment to continue the campaign for statehood and regional rights amid ongoing flood relief efforts in Jammu.
