'Passports for some Hurriyat leaders'

NEW DELHI, JAN. 8. The Home Minister, Mr. L.K. Advani, today said some of the Hurriyat leaders will be given passports to travel to Pakistan.

He said this even as the Hurriyat leaders expressed apprehension that their Pakistan visit on January 15 may not materialise because of the Government's ``dilly-dallying tactics'' in issuing them passports.

Mr. Advani told presspersons at North Block tonight that the entire seven-member Hurriyat team would not be given travel documents.

``Some of them will be given passports'', he said without specifying the number.

Earlier, the Hurriyat chairman, Prof. Abdul Ghani Bhat, said ``I am not sure we will get the passports before January 15.''
