“We stand by the declaration but unfortunately we never got a chance to act on that. There is no political process going on in Kashmir and everything is frozen,” said Ali Muhammad Sagar, a former minister and NC leader.
The Gupkar declaration was signed at the residence of former J&K chief minister Dr Farooq Abdullah, when leaders from NC, PDP, CPI(M), People’s Conference, Congress and other political parties rushed to his house on August 4.
