Hurriyat team headed for Kumbh

The decision to send two executive members of the Hurriyat to Kumbh was taken after the top leadership of the conglomeration held detailed talks with Pandit N K Sharma, political advisor to former prime minister P V Narasimha Rao.

Sharma will accompany the Hurriyat delegation, which is likely to include Mirwaiz Omer Farooq, religious head and Syed Ali Shah Gilani.

In case Gilani is unable to go due to poor health, Abdul Ghani Lone will accompany the Mirwaiz, Sharma said.

During their stay, the Hurriyat leaders will brief the religious leaders on the security and political situation in the state.

The Hurriyat leaders recently held talks with former law minister Ram Jethmalani, who is taking an active role in Kashmir affairs these days.

The visit is primarily a goodwill one to explain to them that the Hurriyat wants a peaceful settlement of the Kashmir problem.

Jethmalani also had several meetings with the Hurriyat leaders, which was also arranged by Pandit Sharma.

Jethmalani met Home Minister Lal Krishna Advani and Swami Adhyokshananda before talking to the Hurriyat leaders.

The swami is camping there for two weeks along with his followers.
