The all parties meeting announced by MLA Langate is likely to fall flat as almost every “invitee” said that they have not received any invitation regarding the meeting.The mainstream political leaders as well as the traders told KNS that they didn’t receive any invitation so far.While talking to KNS, General Secretary of National Conference, Ali Muhammad Sagar said that he doesn’t have any information in this regard.“How should we go there where we have not been invited?” Sagar questioned.Peoples Democratic Front (PDF), President Hakeem Muhammad Yaseen said that he has not received any invitation yet.“I am not going to attend the meeting as I have not received any invitation. If I will receive any invitation. I would not attend as I have engagement elsewhere,” Hakeem said.CPI (M) leader and MLA Kulgam M Y Tarigami will not be going to attend the meeting due to his busy schedule on the proposed date.Kashmir Economic Alliance (KEA) chairman also said that it has not received any invitation regarding the conference.“I am hearing the same from you and nobody came to me so far,” he said.
