The Supreme Court upheld scrapping Article 370 in J&K drawing mixed reactions from regional leaders. While DPAP's Ghulam Nabi Azad termed it "sad", PDP chief Mehbooba said it wounded people's dignity but won't end the struggle. NC's Omar Abdullah voiced disappointment but vowed to persist like BJP did for decades. Sajad Lone called it unjust while agreeing Article 370 will remain a political aspiration. The bench ruled the temporary provision eased J&K's merger, backing its revocation and bifurcation. It directed polls by Sept 2024. With the verdict dashing hopes of restoration of special status, leaders expressed resilience to continue political efforts on the issue.
