After a meeting on Tuesday, PAGD leaders said they were in favour of a dialogue to resolve the J-K issue and would attend the meeting.

“We favour a dialogue. There is no other way than a dialogue to resolve the current issues. The government should talk to everyone, including Pakistan, for a resolution,” PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said.
