Explanation:

• Political parties of Jammu and Kashmir have announced the formation of the ‘People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration’ to fight for restoring Article 370 and also for restoration of full statehood for Jammu and Kashmir.
• The coming together of the rival regional parties is strange and significant, as this is not an electoral alliance, but a political meeting point on the status of Kashmir.
• It is a result of the perception that politics in Jammu and Kashmir is a face-off with the Centre and a reflection of increased Kashmiri alienation from the national mainstream.
• The members of the Alliance have said that taking away statehood was against the federal structure of the Constitution.
• The Alliance has adopted the flag of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir as its symbol and Farooq Abdullah has been chosen as its Chairman.
