Mehbooba meets BJP president amid fresh Kashmir violence


New Delhi, April 14 (IANS): Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday met Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah here amid simmering anger in the Kashmir Valley over the death of four civilians during the week in clashes with security forces.

BJP leader Ram Madhav, who is the party's Jammu and Kashmir affairs in-charge, was also present at the meeting.

Mehbooba arrived in the capital on Tuesday and has since met Home Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Sushma Swaraj, Urban Development and Housing Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu and Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari.
