Confident all invited leaders will attend 'important' meeting with PM in Delhi: J-K BJP chief
India TodayThe BJP on Saturday said it is confident that all the Jammu and Kashmir leaders invited to a meeting with the prime minister in Delhi to discuss the future course of action for the union territory will attend the 'important' deliberation. BJP Jammu and Kashmir unit president Ravinder Raina, who is among the invitees, said the meeting convened by the prime minister is in accordance with the wishes of heads of various political parties who have been seeking time from him and demanding such a meeting for a long time. As many as 14 leaders from Jammu and Kashmir, including four former chief ministers of the erstwhile state, have been invited for the meeting that will be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on June 24. He thanked the prime minister for convening such a meeting after starting a new phase of development in the union territory by strengthening Panchayati Raj Institutions and giving rights to various sections of the society, including Pakistan-occupied Kashmir refugees, West Pakistani refugees, Gujjars and Bakerwals and women, by abrogating Article 370 of the Constitution, which gave special status to the erstwhile state, in August 2019.
