Mehbooba calls on PM, terms meeting as "very positive"

Published On : 22 Mar 2016


New Delhi, Mar 22 (PTI) Deadlock over government formation in Jammu and Kashmir seems to have ended with PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti today calling on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a meeting which she described as "very positive" and "good" in addressing issues pertaining to the people of the state.

Mehbooba drove to the Prime Minister's residence this morning barely three days after PDP and BJP had hit a road block with BJP's chief interlocutor Ram Madhav announcing that his party would not be accepting any fresh demands from its erstwhile ally PDP.

Emerging after a 30-minute-long meeting with the Prime Minister, Mehbooba said she had a "very positive meeting and a good meeting" with him.

"We are seeing a stalemate for last two to three months over government formation in the state but today I am satisfied. I am very satisfied," she told reporters here.

To a question whether the stalemate has ended, she said, "When you meet the Prime Minister of the country, naturally the solution to the problems faced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir is more clear".

She will be flying back to Srinagar where she will brief her party legislators on Thursday. "I had been authorised by the party MLAs to take a decision. I have convened a meeting on Thursday and after that we will announce the future course of action."

On government formation in the state, she said, "As I said I will talk to my MLAs because that is the forum. This is not the place. There is a particular place to make such anouncements. I will go back to Srinagar and take the next step.
