"The delegation led by provincial president Devender Singh Rana and comprising former party legislators will fly from Jammu tomorrow morning," National Conference spokesperson Madan Mantoo said. Article 370 Abrogation: Narendra Modi Govt to Release Kashmiri Leaders 'One By One', Says Advisor to J&K Governor.
