The suggestion for sending an all-party delegation was made at a meeting of leaders of over 35 political parties convened by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Wednesday to hammer out a solution to the vexed issue.

Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil had a meeting with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday and the duo discussed the different suggestions made at the four-hour all-party meeting.
