Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday saw a flurry of political activities, including several meetings among leaders of the PDP, NC and Congress, aimed at cobbling up an alliance to form a new government in the state.

Veteran CPI(M) leader M Y Tarigami met National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah to discuss the feasibility of forming a new government by extending support to the Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP), said a source privy to the development. The source said the NC is willing to extend support to the PDP for forming government for now, but wants early dissolution of the Assembly, kept in suspended animation since imposition of Governor's Rule on June 19, and eventually an election.
