J&K Dy CM Nirmal Singh assures thorough discussion on vexed issues

Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh Wednesday assured that all contesting issues will be thoroughly discussed in today's cabinet meeting.

"All the issues will be discussed in the cabinet meeting," Singh told reporters responding to a question posed to him over the release of separatist leader Masarat Alam and the rest of the militants whose release is under review of the government.

Minister for Revenue and senior PDP leader Javed Mustaffa Mir, while replying to a question about the rift between PDP and BJP coalition government, said "We are coalition partners and are open to discussion -- there is no thick line".

Alam was released on court orders and there is no big issue about it, he said.
