Widespread street protests by NC, PDP mark 7th anniversary of abrogation of Article 370 in J&K
On the 7th anniversary of Article 370 abrogation (August 5, 2019), widespread street protests were held by National Conference (NC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jammu & Kashmir. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha distributed appointment letters to families of terror victims, calling the abrogation a "historic turning point." The event marks continued political polarization in J&K post-reorganisation, with mainstream regional parties opposing the 2019 constitutional change while the administration highlights development and rehabilitation measures. This remains a high-yield topic for polity, governance, and internal security sections across competitive exams.
