Muzaffarabad, May 23 (ANI): The issue of passport for hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani which has kicked off a controversy in Indian Kashmir between the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the BJP who rule the state, has also created a stir in the Pakistani side of the disputed valley. The PDP has said it would approach the Centre for giving passport to Geelani on "humanitarian" grounds while the BJP has said he should not be given the travel document till he "apologises" for his anti-national activities. Politicians in Muzaffarabad appealed to world powers to ask India to allow Geelani travel to the bedside of his ailing daughter. Ordinary citizens were equally disturbed by the issue.
