Both the Chinar Foundation and the Ibaadatkhana “represent the old ethos of the people of Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh.” The resolution submitted called for a four-point demand “to restore normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir and to ameliorate the suffering of the 12 million residents there.”
The demands include “holding immediate free and fair elections in the state, release of political persons who are under house arrest or detention, restoration of 4g internet service, etc. Justice Markandeya Katju is the patron of Chinar Foundation and Ibaadatkhana.
