Convene all-party meet in J-K to discuss prevailing situation: Mufti to Farooq

SRINAGAR: Days after the Centre ordered rushing of around 10,000 central forces personnel to the Kashmir valley, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti asked NC president Farooq Abdullah to convene an all-party meeting in Jammu and Kashmir to discuss the prevailing situation.

Kashmir on Monday remained on the edge as fresh orders issued by State administration officials stoked speculations about the possibility of the BJP-led government at the Centre taking a major decision with regard to the special status of the State.

“In light of recent developments that have caused a sense of panic amongst people in J&K, I’ve requested Dr Farooq Abdullah sahab to convene an all party meeting. Need of the hour is to come together & forge a united response. We the people of Kashmir need to stand up as one (sic),” Mufti wrote on Twitter. (AGENCIES)
