New Delhi: After adopting a hard line against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led
National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, the Hurriyat Conference will hold the
first ever meeting with Congress president and leader of Opposition Sonia Gandhi.
The Hurriyat delegation comprising its former chairman Mirwais Umar Farooq and Jammu
and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Yasin Malik will call on Gandhi shortly
and apprise her of the political situation in the valley, including the alleged
harassment by the centre of Muslim institutions in Jammu and Kashmir, Hurriyat
sources said.
This is for the first time that Hurriyat leaders will be meeting any mainstream
political leader publicly.
The Hurriyat leaders are also likely to apprise her of alleged dual policies of the
Centre in resolving the Kashmir issue.
