All eyes are on the Jammu and Kashmir all-party meeting on June 24 in Delhi to be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has received a call to take part in the all-important meeting but said that she will hold discussions with her party colleagues before making a decision. Meanwhile, sources close to former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that the National Conference has not received an invitation to take part in the meeting so far.

Nearly two years after the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019, and the splitting of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories, PM Modi will hold the meeting of mainstream political parties from Jammu and Kashmir. Sources say that the Centre is reaching out to mainstream political parties to end the political impasse in the Union Territory. The meeting comes amid speculations about restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir. The meeting also assumes significance with delimitation or redrawing of constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir on the cards and assembly polls slated to take place later this year or early next year. Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday carried out a review meeting to discuss the security scenario of Jammu and Kashmir.
