Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Sunday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA Government is committed to the agenda for governance in Jammu and Kashmir.
"We are still committed to the agenda for governance that was formed with reference to Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
"But in the resolution there is a reference to J&K, particularly in the case of national security," he added.
His statement comes after PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti met BJP president Amit Shah in the national capital earlier on Friday but the agenda of the meeting was not made clear.
Both sides maintained silence on the meeting. Sources, however, said that it was part of the intense efforts being undertaken by the two parties before resuming the coalition.
Reportedly, the PDP has toughened its stand after Mufti Mohammed Sayeed's demise by seeking concrete plans for the state's development before the coalition could be resumed. However, this has irked the BJP, which wants the alliance to continue without any new condition.
Jammu and Kashmir is going through Governor's Rule since January 8, a day after the demise of then chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
