To discuss �lost� article-370, Farooq calls all-party-meet Wednesday

Jammu | 4 Aug 2020

National Conference (NC) president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah today called for an all-party meeting on Wednesday, on the first anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370.
Abdullah has called the meeting of many mainstream political parties at his residence to chalk out a political strategy on �lost� Article 370. In 2019, Article 370 was scrapped in Jammu and Kashmir and two union territories--Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh came into existence.
Abdullah, confirming the all-party meet, said, "What kind of government is it that they have kept every one caged? My sister is caged. Nobody is allowed to come out. Let�s see if they allow anybody to come out."
This is the first political development seen in the last one year after the abrogation of Article 370. However, sources in the administration said that no leader would be allowed to come out of their respective residences on August 5. A curfew is already in place across Srinagar.
The J&K administration has imposed a curfew on August 4 and 5 in view of intelligence warning that the separatists and Pakistan-backed terror groups were planning to observe August 5 as �Black Day.� The curfew orders were passed after the J&K Police received intelligence inputs that separatists and terror groups were planning to disrupt the law and order in Kashmir Valley on the first anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370 that gave special status to the former state of J&K.
During a meeting of the Gore Group of the J&K Administration, J&K Police, intelligence agencies and other security forces, the decision to impose curfew was taken. The meeting was attended by General Officer Commanding 15 Corps and Director General J&K Police and Divisional Commissioner of Kashmir.
