On Sunday, Omar Abdullah, J&K Chief Minister, announced a protest at Jantar Mantar to press for statehood restoration, starting July 20. He accused the BJP of undermining his government's efforts and failing to honor promises made during elections. The NC plans to hold rallies and dharnas in Delhi, targeting criticism over employment and development failures. Abdullah also defended inviting Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, dismissing claims of separatist involvement. This marks the first major public meeting by the ruling party since winning the 2024 Assembly elections.
