Congress To Join Omar Abdullah's Protest For Jammu and Kashmir's Statehood

The Jammu and Kashmir Congress party is set to intensify its campaign for the restoration of statehood, announcing plans for significant protests. Tariq Hamid Karra, the President of the J&K Congress, revealed that the party's central leadership will lend its support by joining the demonstrations scheduled for July 20.

This move signals a unified front from the Congress party, both at the regional and national levels, in advocating for the return of Jammu and Kashmir's special status. The party has been vocal in its criticism of the central government's decision to revoke Article 370, which granted the region its previous autonomy.

The planned protests are expected to draw a considerable number of participants, reflecting the ongoing political sentiment within the region regarding its constitutional status. The Congress party aims to leverage this public support to pressure the government into reconsidering its policies towards Jammu and Kashmir.
