Gupkar Declaration is a resolution that was issued after an all-party meeting on August 4, 2019 at the Gupkar residence of the National Conference chief.
The resolution was adopted by all parties to unite ahead of Centre's decision to scrap Article 370 giving special status to Jammu and Kashmir and split it into two Union territories.
As per the resolution, all parties unanimously decided to stand united to protect and defend the identity, autonomy and special status of Jammu and Kashmir against all attacks and onslaughts.
