All parties likely to be invited, according to sources.
People’s Alliance for the Gupkar Agenda president Farooq Abdullah on June 19 said the amalgam will sit together and discuss the strategy for talks with Delhi only after there was a formal invite. Meanwhile, official sources said the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) was in the process of getting in touch with political parties for a meeting on June 24 in New Delhi, in the first ever outreach by the Centre since J&K’s special constitutional position ended on August 5, 2019. “We just know what is coming on the TV channels. There is no formal invitation yet. We will be going to discuss strategy with the amalgam’s constituents only if there is an invite,” Dr. Abdullah, who heads an amalgam of five political parties, told The Hindu.More Related News
