The Core Group, comprising all Congress MLAs, MLCs, vice-presidents, general secretaries and senior vice-president, is being held at PCC headquarters, near Shahidi Chowk Jammu, at 11 a.m. According to the sources, Mir had gone to New Delhi for meeting with the party high command for discussion over pros and cons of a possible PDP- Congress alliance in Jammu Kashmir to keep the saffron brigade out of power.
