Hardline Hurriyat Conference today asked the Regional Passport Office (RPO) here to issue travel documents to the amalgam chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani for visiting his ailing daughter in Saudi Arabia.

"A reminder in this regard has been filed in the Passport Office, Srinagar, today so that Geelani can get the travel documents and visit Saudi Arabia to see his ailing daughter," a spokesman of the Hurriyat said.

He said Farhat Jabeen Geelani, who resides in Jeddah, is in a very critical condition there.

"Although she is under the observation of doctors, her health is not showing any significant improvement. Geelani is very desirous to see his ailing daughter but due to the non availability of the travel documents, this has not been possible for him so far," the spokesman said.
 

He said Geelani has not been provided a passport for a very long time now "which is in grave violation of the basic human rights and it has no moral or constitutional justification".
