On the party's meeting, he said several issues, including how to strengthen the party, were discussed. Meanwhile, NC's chief spokesman Tanvir Sadiq said the meeting of the provincial committee of the party takes place every month and discusses party affairs. Discussions took place over party affairs, developmental works and the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, Sadiq told reporters. Asked if the cabinet expansion was discussed in the meeting, he said it was not the proper forum as cabinet expansion is the prerogative of the chief minister. The CM will take a call on it when he deems fit. The meeting discussed party affairs, what MLAs think and what the situation is, Sadiq added.
