Mufti's meeting with the PM, being held for the first time since July 8, takes place just after Home Minister Rajnath Singh's three-day visit to the valley.

Earlier this week, Modi had a meeting with a delegation of opposition parties from the state led by former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

Making an appeal for peace in the valley Modi asked the political parties to work together to find a "permanent and lasting" solution to the problem in the state.

At a press conference held in Srinagar on Thursday, Mufti defended the action of security forces and claimed that 95 per cent people are in favour of resolving the Kashmir issue through dialogues.
