Mehbooba Mufti meets Sonia Gandhi in New Delhi

Peoples Democratic Party president and former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti on Monday met Congress president, Sonia Gandhi   at her residence in New Delhi.

Sources said that the meeting between the two lasted for half an hour from 05:30 PM to 06:00PM.

Meanwhile, Mehbooba Mufti  described the meeting as a “purely personal courtesy call” and it has nothing to do with politics.

She added that she wanted to inquire about her health, as Sonia Gandhi was not keeping well for some time.

Notably, this is the first meeting between the two leaders after the abrogation of Article 370 on August 05, 2019.

The duo had met in 2016 when Mehbooba Mufti took over as CM of erstwhile state Jammu and Kashmir after demise of her father and former chief minister Mufti Mohammad Syed.
