The resolution said that the parties have unanimously decided that they will work together to preserve the identity, autonomy and special status of Jammu and Kashmir. The proposal includes the PDP, the People’s Conference and some smaller parties in addition to the National Conference. Earlier, all the signatories met on 22 August and took a pledge to restore the status of special state of Jammu and Kashmir. The parties unanimously stated that they will unite and try to protect and defend the identity, autonomy and special status of Jammu and Kashmir against all attacks.
At the same time, the BJP has reacted sharply to the meeting for the secret announcement. The party said that three former chief ministers have come together to create trouble in the valley. BJP Chief Ravinder Raina has described the secret declaration as being anti-national and sponsored by Pakistan. He said that Abdullah and Mufti in their latest meeting decided to pursue the goals of the Guptkar declaration, which the BJP would never allow.
