Art 370 abrogation anniversary: Cong, PDP observe ‘black day’ in Jammu, demand statehood restoration
PTI, Aug 5, 2024, 4:28 PM IST
The Congress and Peoples democratic Party (PDP) on Monday observed the fifth anniversary of Article 370 abrogation as a ”black day” by holding separate protest rallies here to demand the restoration of statehood and special status for Jammu and Kashmir.
Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Vikar Rasool Wani criticised the BJP-led Centre for failing to curb the rise in terror attacks in the region following the abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of the state into two union territories.
Wani, dressed in black, led hundreds of Congress workers carrying black flags in a rally here. Chanting slogans against the BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and in favour of statehood restoration, the protestors sat on a dharna after being stopped by police from proceeding further.
