Members of the all-party delegation to Kashmir will meet on Wednesday to discuss their findings during the 2-day visit.
New Delhi: Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the situation in Kashmir, after an all-party delegation led by the Home Minister returned to Delhi on Monday night.
Rajnath informed Modi about the assessment of the ground situation done by the all-party delegation, said reports.
Members of the all-party delegation will meet in New Delhi on Wednesday to discuss their findings during the two-day visit and discuss strategies for the future.
The delegation did not meet with much success in Kashmir, since the Hurriyat and other separatist groups as well as several civil society groups refused to meet it for talks. However, some members of the delegation went to meet the Hurriyat leaders in their individual capacity.
On Monday, Rajnath Singh had lashed out at the separatists, claiming that refusing to talk to members of the delegation was not the way of ‘Kashmiriyat’, democracy or even humanity.
The separatists for their part had asked ‘people like Rajnath Singh’ not to give them lessons in democracy, and rejected the talks because they had no specific agenda.
