“Alternate means of protest besides strikes and shutdowns will be also discussed threadbare in the meeting. Suggestions on using alternate means of protest will also sought through social networking sites,” he said.
Government is likely to allow the scheduled meet as authorities have neither detained nor put any leader and activists of Hurriyat (M) under house arrest.
