Four days after she was authorised by her party's core group to take a final call on government formation in Jammu and Kashmir, People's Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti today continued to keep everyone guessing on her next move.

Mehbooba, who is facing demands from opposition National Conference to quickly take over as chief minister or go in for fresh assembly polls, held an informal party meeting at her residence here but did not touch upon government formation in the state.

The meeting, chaired by Mehbooba and attended by several leaders of the PDP, was held soon after special prayers for her father and late chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on the 15th day of his death, sources in the PDP said.

The sources, however, said there was no discussion on government formation. The state was placed under Governor's Rule on January 8, a day after Sayeed's death.

"It was purely a religious function that many Muslims of Kashmir observe for those who have passed away in their family. There was absolutely no political discussion," a PDP leader said.
