PM backs delimitation exercise, grassroots democracy in J&K

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated his government’s commitment to fostering grassroots democracy in Jammu and Kashmir during his meeting with 14 leaders of eight mainstream political parties even as he sought their cooperation in first completing the delimitation exercise for Assembly seats in the Union Territory, which would eventually lead to elections.
He said this at the first outreach meeting between the Union government and the mainstream political leaders, a meeting, which by all accounts was held in a cordial atmosphere.
