Top Hurriyat leaders to meet Pak envoy today
New Delhi, Mar 24 (IBNS) Top Hurriyat leaders will meet Pakistani High Commissioner Abdul Basit on Thursday to discuss a host of issues, including Kashmir, a media report said on Thursday.
According to Times Now, Hurriyat leaders such as Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Umer Farooq will join in the discussions with Pakistani envoy Abdul Basist.

He also called for adopting the “Vajpayee model” of diplomacy and said that their meeting with the Pakistani high commissioner is important.
