The first meet of the Jammu and Kashmir’s National Conference (NC) party leaders was held on 20 August, days after the Jammu and Kashmir administration told the high court that no NC leader was under detention.
This was the first meeting of the party members since the abrogation of Article 370 on 5 August 2019, which stripped the state of its special status. Abdullah said the meet was organised to see if party colleagues were even able to step out of their homes or not.
