The alliance was formalised after two hours meeting of the signatories of Gupkar declaration at the residence of National Conference president Farooq Abdullah here.
Soon after the meeting concluded, NC president Dr Farooq Abdullah had said that all the signatories of the Gupkar declaration have decided to forge an alliance to fight for the restoration of special status.
“Our motive is to fight for the restoration of August 04, 2019 position,” he had said, adding that the alliance will fight for the rights that were snatched last year from Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
