SRINAGAR: The People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) on Tuesday accepted the Union home ministry's invitation to an all-party dialogue on J&K with PM Narendra Modi in Delhi on Thursday, saying it would use the opportunity to pitch hard for restoration of “what was ours and what can remain ours”. “There will be no compromise on Articles 370 and 35A,”
The decision also ended speculation about whether ex-CM Mehbooba Mufti, whose PDP is part of the alliance, would join the talks or depute someone to represent the party. In a joint presser following a meet at NC chief Farooq Abdullah’s residence, the constituents of the alliance said they would also seek the release of all political detainees and the return of J&K prisoners lodged in different jails.
