Srinagar: Amid media reports that Centre is going to invite political parties of Jammu and Kashmir for talks on June 24 in New Delhi, National Conference president Farooq Abdullah Saturday said that they will “first sit and discuss the strategy to be followed” if they get the formal invitation from New Delhi.

PDP chief, Mehbooba Mufti, however, confirmed that she has got an invitation from New Delhi while J&K Apni Party states that “solution to J&K’s problems lies at New Delhi.”

Farooq told news agency KNO: “So far we haven’t received any formal invite from New Delhi for talks. If we get any invitation, we will first sit and discuss the strategy to be adopted for the meeting.”

Mehbooba confirmed to KNO that she has received a formal invitation from New Delhi for the meeting on June 24.

“Yes, I got a phone call from Delhi and I have been invited for a meeting on June 24. The meeting will be chaired by Prime Minister Narendera Modi,” she said. “I haven’t decided yet whether to attend the meet.”

Asked whether all mainstream leaders have been invited, she feigned ignorance by stating that “I have no idea…”

CPI (M) leader M Y Tarigami also said that he hasn’t got any invitation from the Centre.

“Neither formal nor informal invitation has been received by me. There is no communication from New Delhi at all,” he said.

Sources, however, confirmed that Centre is going to invite all the leaders from J&K’s mainstream camp one by one. “All the leaders will be invited through phone calls,” a source privy to the development said.

J&K Apni Party chief Altaf Bukhari said that the solution to J&K’s problems lies in New Delhi.

“We openly state that we have a relation with Delhi. Solutions to J&K’s problems lie at New Delhi not Islamabad, New York or London. Delhi’s invitation to J&K’s political parties is a welcome development. My question to all the political parties is they called us King’s party, now who is king’s party?” Bukhari said in an obvious reference to NC and PDP.

He said there were three main issues: restoration of statehood, security of jobs and security of land. “With God’s grace and support of PM Modi and HM Amit Shah we have managed security of jobs and security of land and I believe within a year or so, statehood will also be restored.” (KNO)
