The issues such as present political scenario in the state, turmoil in the valley and the role of BJP were discussed, Spokesman said adding that BJP is extending full cooperation to the state government in restoring peace and normalcy.

While speaking in the meeting, Kaul stressed on proper monitoring of the day-to-day developments and asked the spokespersons to make sure that the view point of the party on vital issues is put forth in right perspective so that the people are properly informed about the functioning of BJP in the government.
