Dignity of J&K violated like Draupadi on August 5, 2019 and Kauravas were laughing in the Parliament: Ruhullah Mehdi

Political leaders in Jammu and Kashmir marked August 5, 2019, as a dark day for the region, citing it as a blot on Indian democracy. Some leaders in Kashmir were placed under house arrest, while Congress and People's Democratic Party members protested in Jammu, demanding the restoration of statehood and special status for J&K. Meanwhile, the BJP held a brief celebratory procession in Srinagar, commending the abrogation of Article 370.
