Jammu: A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) delegation from Jammu will meet Monday party president Mehbooba Mufti, who is currently under detention in Srinagar, a senior party leader said.
The announcement comes on a day a 15-member delegation of National Conference (NC) from Jammu met their detained party president Farooq Abdullah and vice-president Omar Abdullah in Srinagar.
The PDP delegation will be led by general secretary Ved Mahajan, former PDP legislator and spokesperson Firdous Tak, told this agency.
This will be the first meeting of PDP leaders with Mehbooba Mufti who was detained August 5 after the abrogation of provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution.
Firdous Tak said the PDP had requested governor Satya Pal Malik to allow a party delegation from Jammu to meet Mehbooba and ‘we have been conveyed that the permission has been granted’.
“A meeting is going on to finalise the delegation which will leave for Srinagar to meet the party president tomorrow (Monday). Most probably, the strength of the delegation will be of 15 or 18 members,” Tak informed.
