Opposition parties to hold joint protest in Jammu

Opposition parties will hold a joint protest against the BJP in Jammu on October 10, National Conference president Farooq Abdullah said after chairing a meeting of the opposition parties in Jammu on Tuesday.

"Considering the situation on the ground and how the Constitution has been suspended in J&K and our rights have been attacked and trampled upon, we have decided to take out a peaceful protest on October 10," he said.

Abdullah, a former CM of Jammu and Kashmir who represents Srinagar in the Lok Sabha, held a meeting with the leaders of parties including the People's Democratic Party, Panthers Party and the Congress.
