Srinagar: On a day an all-party delegation, led by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, arrived in Jammu and Kashmir for a two-day visit, separatists yesterday rejected Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s invitation for a meeting with the team, terming such a measure “deceitful”. They claimed that the meeting cannot be an alternative to a “transparent agenda-based dialogue to address the core issue”.
