New Delhi, Aug 8 (IBNS): Amid violence in the Kashmir Valley since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh here on Monday.

During the meeting, she discussed the situation of her state with the Minister.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, the Chief Minister said: "Hope the PM will address the unrest in Kashmir."

Reacting to the meeting, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah tweeted: "So @MehboobaMufti has finally given up on her "business as usual" act & rushed to Delhi instead."

"The amazing thing is that it's taken 31 days & more than 50 deaths to finally "disturb" the Chief Minister," he said.

The opposition National Conference leader further said: "HM, RM, NSA & MoS PMO in the meeting. Sounds like the J&K CM has been summoned for a full fledged intervention."
