PDP chief calls party meet tomorrow

SRINAGAR: In the first signs of ending the 9-day impasse over Government formation in Jammu and Kashmir, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti has called a meeting of her party’s extended core group here tomorrow which is expected to deliberate on the future course of action and ties with BJP.

“The PDP president has convened a meeting of the extended core group of the party tomorrow at her residence in the afternoon,” a senior PDP leader said.

He said those invited to the meeting include the party MPs, former ministers, and the senior party office bearers.

This will be the first formal party meeting to be chaired by Mehbooba since the death of her father and then Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on January 7. (AGENCIES)
