PM Modi's meeting with Jammu and Kashmir leaders begins

A crucial meeting to chalk out the future political course of action in Jammu and Kashmir, convened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, began on Thursday with the attendance of 14 leaders, including four former chief ministers.
The meeting is the first between the Centre and mainstream Jammu and Kashmir politicians after the abrogation of Article 370 and the division of the erstwhile state into two union territories in August 2019. Besides the prime minister, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval attended the meeting.
