MLAs from National Conference and Congress were seen reaching the venue shortly after the CM’s arrival.
Congress MLAs including Nizamudin Bhat, Irfan Hafeez Lone, Peerzada Muhammad Syed are also attending the meet.
However, NC MLA Ahsan Pardesi, Congress leader Tariq Hameed Karra, and former JKPCC chief Ghulam Ahmad Mir are expected to skip the meeting.
