New Delhi, As violence continues in Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday reviewed the situation in the state with his senior Cabinet colleagues here.

Singh held discussions with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Defence Minister A K Antony and Home Minister Shivraj Patil over developments in the state and a possible solution to the issue.

During the 75-minute meeting, Mukherjee is understood to have given an assessment about the situation based on his deliberations with senior Congress leaders from the state, including former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and PCC president Saifuddin Soz last night as well as on Thursday.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi's Political Secretary Ahmed Patel also attended these meetings.

The meeting came in the midst of the Centre's move to set up a new group to hold dialogue with all parties concerned in the Amarnath land transfer row.

The Prime Minister, in his Independence Day speech on Friday, voiced concern over the situation on the border state and came out strongly against "divisive politics" on the Amarnath issue.

Singh had asked political parties not to use religion to divide people but come together in finding a permanent solution to problems plaguing Jammu and Kashmir.
