During their meeting, Lone discussed with the Governor various matters pertaining to rapid economic development of the state, a Rajbhawan spokesman said in a statement.
This is the first official meeting of Lone, who broke away from separatist politics in 2009 by contesting the Lok Sabha elections, with any constitutional authority in the state.
Lone’s elder brother, Bilal Gani, is an executive member of the moderate Hurriyat Conference headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.
Father of Peoples Conference chairman and founder of the party, Abdul Gani Lone, was shot dead by militants at Eidgah graveyard in May 2002 after which the younger sibling chose to distance himself from Hurriyat politics.
He plunged into electoral politics in 2009 but came a distant third behind National Conference and PDP candidates.
