The Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD), which is the formation of all major regional parties of Jammu and Kashmir, aiming to restore its former status and power, will use the flag of the erstwhile state, said media reports.
PAGD was formed after the regional parties signed the Gupkar declaration last year just ahead of the abrogation of Article 370 of the constitution and the division of the state into two union territories.
Today, the signing members of the alliance assembled at Mehbooba Mufti’s residence for the first time after its formation and adopted the flag of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir as its symbol.
Abdullah said the BJP has tried to hit the federal structure of India through abrogation of Article 370 and dividing Jammu and Kashmir into two.
Sajjad Lone told the reporters that the alliance will release a white paper on the governance of Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370 within a month.
He claimed it will expose the lies of the BJP and the way Kashmiris have been slandered, an report said.
The declaration was named after Gupkar Road where the signatories had met at Farooq Abdullah’s residence in Srinagar on August 4 to “defend identity, autonomy and special status” of J & K.
