J&K- BJP's Ram Madhav to meet PDP's Mehbooba Mufti

New Delhi, Feb 9: The BJP which has decided to set a deadline for the formation of a government in Jammu and Kashmir has also instructed senior leader Ram Madhav to hold talks with Mehbooba Mufti.

The BJP had decided that it would wait until the start of the Parliament session before taking a final call on the formation of the government at Jammu and Kashmir.

In the meantime BJP chief Amit Shah has told Ram Madhav to hold talks with Mehbooba Mufti on the formation of the government. There has been a deadlock in Jammu and Kashmir since the death of late Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Saeed in Januray.

The PDP has listed out a set of demands for the BJP. Among the demands are the introduction of confidence building measures. The BJP however is averse to the idea of talking with separatists which also form part of the CBMs.

The BJP has made it clear that it would want to follow the agenda of alliance which was set when the PDP and the BJP formed the government in Jammu and Kashmir.

It has also made it clear that if there are any issues then the leaders of both parties should address it before the coordination committee.

The BJP leadership feels that the issue cannot drag on and there has to be some clarity. It wants to address the issue and settle it for good before the start of the Parliament session. The talks that Madhav will hold with Mehbooba will be crucial.
