The prime minister has invited 14 leaders of mainstream political parties from Jammu and Kashmir for the all-party meeting.

Sources said that there is no official agenda for the meeting and it would be a freewheeling discussion. However, Jammu and Kashmir leaders have indicated that they will press for restoration of Article 370 and full statehood.
