New Delhi: Home minister Rajnath Singh is likely to lead an all-party delegation which will visit Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on 3 September even as the state continues to be on edge. As unrest in Kashmir valley continued for the 51st consecutive day on Sunday, the home minister reviewed the situation with top Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and government functionaries. When asked about what transpired at the meeting, Jitendra Singh refused to elaborate, only telling reporters that “Rajnath Singh is a senior leader and we have come for margdarshan (guidance)”. Kashmir valley has been gripped by unrest ever since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani on 8 July. “Ekta (unity) and mamata (affection) was the crux of all interactions I had recently on Kashmir situation,” he said.
