Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary framed the rally as a necessary response to the government's inertia following the 2024 elections. By targeting the administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, the party seeks to force a public reckoning regarding the long-delayed transition from union territory status back to a full state. The move signals a shift toward more aggressive political posturing as the party attempts to consolidate regional support.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has already signaled a combative stance, accusing authorities of attempting to sabotage the event by withholding permits. This friction highlights the lingering volatility in the region, which has remained politically charged since the 2019 abrogation of Article 370. With the protest date approaching, the National Conference is betting that public pressure in the capital will outweigh the administrative hurdles placed in their path.
