Srinagar: Opposition parties in Jammu and Kashmir will meet next month to discuss various issues pertaining to the union territory, including devolution of more powers to the lieutenant governor, senior CPI(M) leader MY Tarigami said on Friday.
“Leaders of opposition parties will meet on August 7,” Tarigami said.
The meeting will discuss issues pertaining to Jammu and Kashmir, including the amendments to the Government of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir Transaction Rules, 2019.
