Today is the second anniversary of the nullification of Article 370 and bifurcation of J&K into two UTs, former J&K chief minister and the PDP president Mehbooba Mufti led a protest in Srinagar.
Several party leaders and workers accompanied her to the city’s Residency road to condemn the August 5, 2019, decision. Mufti raised slogans against the move and demanded that killing and atrocities in Kashmir be stopped and prisoners are released.
The PDP leaders and workers including Mufti said they will never accept the decision taken by the BJP-led government on August 5, 2019, and termed the decision and laws passed on that day as black laws. Mufti also took to her Twitter account and said, “No words or pictures are enough to depict the pain, torment & upheaval inflicted upon J&K on this black day two years ago. When unbridled oppression is unleashed & gross injustice heaped there is no other choice but to resist, to exist,”
Meanwhile, a meeting of the Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) is underway at the residence of Farooq Abdullah in which all the leaders of constituent parties of the alliance are participating.
On the eve of the second anniversary of the nullification of Article 370 and bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories, the PAGD on Wednesday had termed the BJP’s Naya Kashmir slogan as a mere joke and questioned the aim behind the August 2019 move.
