Rashid has not applied for travel by bus
Diplomatic Correspondent
NEW DELHI:
Pakistan Information Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed has not applied to travel on the next Muzaffarabad-Srinagar cross-Line of Control bus, official sources said here on Thursday.
Mr. Ahmed, who has been in the eye of the storm following remarks by the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front leader, Yaseen Malik, that the Information Minister ran militant training camps, had expressed a desire to travel by the bus to meet relatives in Kashmir.
The sources said that the name of the Pakistan Information Minister, who was in New Delhi during General Pervez Musharraf's visit in April, did not figure in the list of prospective bus passengers supplied to the Regional Passport Officer, Srinagar, by his Pakistani counterpart on Thursday.
In any case, given the sharp Government of India response to Mr. Malik's remarks, it was highly unlikely that Sheikh Rasheed would have been given permission to travel on the trans-LoC bus.
