New Delhi: Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday to discuss the deteriorating law and order situation in the Valley.
Mufti arrived in the national capital on Friday evening and her meeting with Modi is scheduled at his official 7 Race Course Road residence.
The meeting comes days after Mufti and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh presented a united front in Srinagar, saying there will be no compromise in security measures in the valley.
"We will not bend to the will of the 5% who aim to spread havoc in the state," Mufti had said.
In September first week, an all party Parliamentary delegation is likely to visit Jammu and Kashmir and meet a cross section of people, amidst the unrest.
Government will consult all political parties before finalising an itinerary for the tour aimed at restoring peace in the Kashmir Valley.
Sources said the visit of the all party delegation to Jammu and Kashmir is expected to be discussed after Mufti's meeting with Modi.
The facilitation of the all party delegation to the troubled state is considered to be an attempt by the government to bring the political parties on board of the process initiated to bring peace in the state.
Meanwhile, the curfew entered the 50th day and normalcy has not returned in the Valley since the killing of Hizbul terrorist Burhan Wani on July 8.
Local business was badly hit in state and the losses touched more than Rs 6,000 crore, government sources said.
So far, the clashes have left 70 people dead.
