Mehbooba Announces J&K-Wide Protests for Article 370 Restoration

Mehbooba Mufti, the president of the PDP, has announced that there will be protests all over Jammu and Kashmir on 5 August.

The protests are to ask for the return of Article 370 and Article 35A, which gave the region special status.

These articles were taken away by the Modi government in 2019.

Mehbooba also said sorry for some words she said earlier about pellet guns used by security forces in Kashmir.

She explained that a missing word in her speech caused confusion.

The PDP wants the government to talk to the people of Kashmir and release political prisoners.

They also want security forces to leave civilian areas where there is less violence.
