Restoration of Article 370 as it applied to Jammu & Kashmir prior to August 5, 2019, is the principal demand of representatives of six J&K political parties — bitter adversaries on the ground — who met at former chief minister Farooq Abdullah’s residence in Srinagar on Thursday and announced the formation the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration to start a movement towards that aim.

“We will meet again” was Abdullah’s promise as he made a short but terse statement, with Mehbooba Mufti of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by his side.
