Srinagar: National Conference (NC) president, Farooq Abdullah on Thursday called for an All Party Meeting on Monday over the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) recent decision allowing non-locals to vote in Jammu and Kashmir.

Abdullah said that the All Party Meeting will be held at his Gupkar residence on Monday (11:00 AM) to discuss the ECI decision.

He said that all the parties except Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have been invited to discuss future course of action.

Pertinently, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti earlier in a day said that she contacted Farooq and asked him to hold an All Party Meeting to discuss future course of action.

Notably, the Election Commission has allowed voting right to any Indian citizen, living ordinarily in J&K in the assembly elections.
