Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the situation in the valley, which has been under curfew for past 48 days following death of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani.

This will be the first meeting between the Prime Minister and Mehbooba after the unrest broke in the valley on July 8.

Earlier, Modi had expressed his "deep concern and pain" over the situation in the valley and asked all political parties to work together to find a "permanent and lasting" solution to problems in the state.

Mehbooba said in a press conference, that, "People came on streets, we imposed curfew. Did the children go to army camps to buy toffees (candy)? Was the 15-year-old boy, who attacked the police station at Damhal Hanjipora (in south Kashmir), going there to get milk."

"Today 95 per cent who have been killed are youngsters belonging to poor families. They were killed in retaliation for attacking security camps. The situations of 2010 and present cannot be compared," she said.
