Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who reached here Sunday evening to commence his three-day tour of Jammu and Kashmir, held a closed-door meeting with BJP MLAs and office-bearers.
This is Shah’s first visit to the Union Territory after the formation of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah-led National Conference government in the Union Territory in October last year. The visit also holds significance in the wake of a massive ongoing anti-terrorist operation in Kathua district.
Shah reached Jammu around 6.50 pm and was received at the technical airport by Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, Union minister Jitendra Singh, and other BJP leaders including J&K unit president Sat Sharma and party's national general secretary in-charge of J&K Tarun Chugh. Former J&K BJP chief Ravinder Raina and former deputy chief ministers Kavinder Gupta and Nirmal Singh were also present.
