The first Gupkar Declaration was unanimously passed by all present as a baseline:<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

{{Quote|text=It was unanimously resolved:
1. That all the parties would be united in their resolve to protect and defend the identity, autonomy and special status of J&K against all attacks and onslaughts whatsoever.

2. That modification, abrogation of Articles 35A, 370, unconstitutional delimitation or trifurcation of the State would be an aggression against the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.

3. That the parties participating in the meeting resolved to seek audience with the President and Prime Minister of India and the leaders of other political parties to apprise them of the current situation and make an appeal to them to safeguard the legitimate interests of the people of the State with regard to the guarantees given to the State by the Constitution of our country.|author=|title=|source=}}

=== Second declaration ===
The second Gupkar Declaration, was signed on 22 August 2020 by seven [[Politics of Jammu and Kashmir|political parties]], including [[Jammu & Kashmir National Conference|National Conference]], [[Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party|People's Democratic Party]], [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]], [[Jammu and Kashmir People's Conference]], [[Awami National Conference]], [[Indian National Congress]] and [[Jammu & Kashmir People's Movement]]. The signatories once again asserted that they were bound by the status quo of August 4, 2019. The Gupkar declaration and parties would strive for the restoration of [[Article 370 of the Constitution of India|Article 370]] and [[Article 35A of the Constitution of India|Article 35A]].

On 17 November 2020, the [[Indian National Congress]] denied their involvement with the PAGD. Their Jammu and Kashmir leadership claimed that they may pursue a state-level electoral alliance but denied that they are signatories of the proclamations. The Congress Party also condemned [[Mehbooba Mufti]]'s comments on abandoning the Indian Tricolour as well as [[Farooq Abdullah]]'s statements asking for foreign interference into India's internal matters.<ref>{{Cite news|author=Manoj C.

=== Later developments ===
On 19 January 2021, the [[Jammu and Kashmir People's Conference]] announced that it was pulling out of the alliance, citing differences with the member parties.<ref name="People's Conference">{{Cite news|last=Ashiq|first=Peerzada|date=2021-01-19|title=Sajad Lone's Peoples Conference pulls out of Gupkar alliance|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/sajad-lones-peoples-conference-pulls-out-of-gupkar-alliance/article33610774.ece|access-date=2021-01-19|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
