Srinagar, Jun 2, KNT: In a significant political development, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti met Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at Raj Bhavan in Srinagar on Sunday, marking their first formal interaction since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019.
A senior PDP leader confirmed that Mehbooba Mufti’s visit was aimed at raising a series of pressing public issues and security-related concerns affecting the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The meeting is being seen as a notable political gesture, given Mehbooba’s consistent and vocal opposition to the central government’s policies in the Union Territory since the revocation of its special constitutional status.
