Delhi: A delegation from the European Union (EU) met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and NSA Ajit Doval on Monday and discussed the situation prevailing in Kashmir post modification of Article 370.
The European Union delegation is scheduled to visit Kashmir on Tuesday.
Speaking exclusively to ETV Bharat, French politician and member of European parliament Thierry Mariani, said, "We are here to gather more information about Kashmir, because in Europe we have opposite information. This visit will help us understand the reality of the situation."
