NEW DELHI, Aug. 27 (Xinhua)-- Indian-controlled Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday called on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold a meeting on ongoing unrest in the restive region, officials said.
Mufti who came to Indian capital city on Friday evening met Modi at his residence in the morning and discussed prevailing situation in Indian-controlled Kashmir that is on boil for the past 50 days.
While authorities have imposed a strict curfew and restrictions, the separatists responded by calling for a shutdown. The lockdown has affected the normal life in the region with people often defying restrictions and hitting roads demanding end to New Delhi's rule.
"There is enough space in Indian democracy for people of Kashmir to fulfil their dreams," Mufti told media after her meeting with Modi.
Mufti's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and India's ruling rightwing Hindu nationalist Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) are running a coalition government in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
She appealed the youth in Indian-controlled Kashmir to allow her to govern the region.
