An all-party delegation, led by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, will visit Jammu and Kashmir on September 4-5 as violent protests continued in the Valley following the killing of Hizbul militant Burhan Wani in July.
"Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh will lead an all-party delegation to Jammu and Kashmir on September 4-5, 2016," an official statement issued here today said.
It said during the visit, there will be interaction with the Governor and Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir.
The visiting delegation will hold meeting with representatives of all political parties and other delegations in Srinagar, it said.
"About 30-member all-party delegation includes leaders of over 20 political parties. A preparatory meeting for this delegation has been convened on Saturday," it said.
The Kashmir Valley has seen possibly the longest spell of protests for over 50 days in which 70 people have lost their lives so far.
