The people of Jammu and Kashmir irrespective of any ideology, religion or region are unanimous on the demand for the restoration of democracy at the earliest and other democratic rights and statehood without any delay.
Chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma briefed the meeting regarding the preparations and consultations with the like-minded political parties and other organizations like NC, PDP, CPI(M), Shiv Sena , IDP and others who are united for restoration of democracy and other democratic rights at the earliest. He said that the senior leadership of all the parties and their workers will participate in good number although it is symbolic peaceful dharna from 10.30 AM on wards.
Senior leaders Yogesh Sawhney, Vinod Sharma, Trilok Singh Bahwa, Ved Mahajan, Rajnish Sharma, KC Bhagat, Hari Singh Chib, Pankaj Dogra, Shiv Kumar Sharma and others were also present during the meeting.
