According to sources, the meeting between Mehbooba and Mirwaiz focused on various societal and political issues confronting Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the Valley.
Khan was removed as Pakistan's prime minister through a no-confidence motion in March 2022 and has been incarcerated since March 2023 in connection with corruption cases.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and other Valley-based political parties strongly condemned her remarks and the ruling party had been demanding an apology.
After meeting the CJP protesters at Jantar Mantar, Mehbooba said the use of pellet guns in Kashmir was justified due to militancy, saying security forces there face militants.
