Jammu and Kashmir Police Thursday maintained that Hurriyat patriarch Syed Ali Geelani should first complete formalities for the purpose of passport.
A senior police officer told KNS that Geelani has not given his biometrics at the passport office yet. “He shall go to passport office to give his biometrics. He is free to go to the passport office. Till he doesn’t give his biometric he can’t be given the passport. Even prime minister and chief ministers have to go to passport office to give their biometrics,” he said.
“If they (Hurriyat G) say police is stopping him (Geelani) that is not true. We have told him that he is free to go. There is no restriction on him,” he claimed.
Asked whether the passport would be issued to Geelani or not, he said, “Let him apply first and then it will be decided accordingly. Let him complete the formalities first.”
