Kashmir violence: Rajnath holds closed-door meet in valley

Home Minister held “extensive discussionâ€on the prevailing situation with Governor, N.N. Vohra, at Raj Bhavan.

SRINAGAR: Home Minister, Rajnath Singh, on Saturday held a series of closed-door meetings with local players here in an endeavour to end two-week long unrest in the Valley which has claimed the lives of about 50 protesters, mainly in security forces’ firings.

In the evening, the Home Minister held “extensive discussion” on the prevailing situation with Governor, N.N. Vohra, at Raj Bhavan here. About half an hour later, they were joined by Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti.

“The discussions would continue over the dinner,” an official said. Ms Mufti, whose repeated appeals for ending protests and maintaining peace have failed to impress people, may also have a separate one-on-one meeting with Mr. Singh.
