NC urges INDIA bloc leaders to join J&K’s demand for Statehood, constitutional guarantees

The National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir is calling for a united front among opposition parties to protest for the restoration of statehood and constitutional guarantees. The party has reached out to various national and regional leaders to join the demonstration during the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament.
Why it matters
This move highlights ongoing political friction regarding the status of Jammu and Kashmir and attempts to consolidate opposition against the central government's policies.
The ruling National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir urged INDIA bloc leaders and J&K politicians on Friday (July 10, 2026) to join the party’s July 20 protest at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament over the demands of Statehood and constitutional guarantees. Meanwhile, the BJP announced it would launch a counter set of protests across J&K over employment on the same day.
The report balances the NC's call for unity with the BJP's planned counter-protests and includes diverse political responses.
