The Praja Parishad Jammu and Kashmir has carved a niche in the political scenario of the state. It is one of the important Jammu and Kashmir State Parties and has been the major opposition of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the constitution of India.

Although the Praja Parishad Jammu and Kashmir Party has its roots in the erstwhile Bharatiya Jana Sangha, it came into existence only in the year 2005. The Praja Parishad or commonly known as the PP, was founded by a group of politicians who broke away from the Bharatiya Janata Pary. The group and the newly found party were headed by Chandermohan Sharma.

The main objective of the Praja Parishad Jammu and Kashmir is to provide autonomy for the Jammu region in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It walks the path of other political parties following the Hindutwa line. However due to its stress on national integration, it has earned support from other communities also.
