J-K CM Mehbooba Mufti leaves cabinet meeting midway after rift with BJP minister

Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti left a cabinet meeting midway on Friday following a rift with a BJP minister over her proposal to restructure the Kashmir Police Service (KPS) officers' cadre. 

As soon as the chief minister left the secretariat, the meeting was shifted to the office of deputy chief minister Nirmal Singh. 

Soon a delegation of the ministers headed by Singh also left for the official residence of the chief minister and the meeting was still going on. The ministers are trying to placate the chief minister, the source said.
