New People's Alliance Launched in J&K; Unlikely to Sway Politics
A new political group called the People's Alliance for Change (PAC) has been formed in Jammu and Kashmir, led by Sajad Lone.
The alliance includes parties like PDF and JDF, and their main goal is to restore rights and address issues for the people.
They want to bring back Article 370, statehood and fight for those affected by the conflict.
However, some people think this new group won't have a big impact because of how divided the politics are there.
Sajad Gani Lone announced the formation of the People's Alliance for Change (PAC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
The alliance includes the People’s Democratic Front (PDF) and the Justice and Development Front (JDF).
The PAC's primary goal is to advocate for the restoration of Article 370 and statehood.
Lone stated the PAC aims to address issues of common masses and advocate for reconciliation.
