Kargil: In a significant development, the newly formed People’s Alliance for Gupkar declaration (PAGD) on Friday joined hands with the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) to fight for the restoration of Article 370 and reunification of erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing the media men outside the Circuit House Kargil, Omar Abdullah said that the PAGD and KDA will continue to fight for the restoration of article 370 and 35-A politically and legally in every peaceful manner .
He said that both PAGD and KDA have the same agenda that, “We don’t accept the decision of last year’s August 05 neither the bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir and creation of two separate UTs.”
Responding to a question about the participation of Kargil leadership in PAGD meeting, Omar said that they expect the participation of Kargil leadership in the meetings of People’s Alliance of Gupkar Declaration (PAGD).
