The Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Sitaram Yechury said that the all-party meeting will submit a report to resolve the issue amicably. "Our primary concern is the unity and integrity of India. It is non-negotiable," told Yechury.
"The Amarnath row is a serious issue which needed the collective effort of all parties," said Yechury and added that there was a lot of provocation going on by vested interests who wanted to use the situation for their political ends.
Meanwhile, the situation is peaceful in Jammu town after talks between the Amarnath Sangarsh Samiti and the all party delegation led by the Home Minister on Saturday.
