In the wake of the prevailing situation in violence-hit Kashmir, BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav today called on Governor N N Vohra and discussed recent developments in the Valley, a day after he met Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti.
"Governor and Madhav discussed the recent developments and the various initiatives required for restoring normalcy in the state," an official spokesman of BJP said.
Madhav, who was instrumental in stitching an alliance between PDP and BJP in the state last year, had a meeting with Mehbooba late last evening. However, his meeting with Mehbooba was a low-key affair.
"It was a one-to-one meeting between the two leaders. We do not know what was discussed but the prevailing situation must have definitely been discussed," an official source said.
Madhav also met BJP leaders including Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh yesterday before meeting with Mehbooba, sources said.
Mehbooba today convened an all-party meeting here to review the situation and find a way out of the unrest that has left 43 people dead and 3,400 others injured. The Valley has erupted into violent protests after the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces on July 8.
