    WORTH OF MINISTERS Union ministers have shared information regarding their moveable and immovable properties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    INSTITUTE OF STRATEGIC STUDIES ISLAMABAD Web: www.issi.org.pk ISSUE BRIEF Phone: +92-51-9204423, 24 Fax: +92-51-9204658 MODI’S (PARTIAL) KASHMIR CONFERENCE: LITTLE HOPE AND MORE FEARS By Muhammad Ali Baig Research Associate India Study Centre (ISC), ISSI Edited by Dr Saif ur Rehman Malik July 5, 2021 (Views expressed in the brief are those of the author, and do not represent those of ISSI) On June 24, 2021, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a meeting with the partial and selected pro-India political leadership of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in New Delhi. It was the first political engagement by the ruling Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in nearly 2 years following the revocation of Articles 370 and 35A of the Indian Constitution on August 5, 2019, and a strict lockdown and suspension of civil liberties that followed. The latter denied IIOJK of the autonomy and the special status guaranteed constitutionally. In the almost 3-hour long meeting, PM Modi was flanked by his close aide Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah, and the Lieutenant Governor of IIOJK Manoj Sinha. The selected pro-India leadership of the IIOJK comprised of 14 politicians including Mehbooba Mufti of the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic party (JKPDP), Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC), and Ghulam Nabi Azad of the Indian National Congress (INC).
