Three Kashmiri pro-freedom leaders who were placed under house arrest by Indian authorities on Thursday have now been freed, India’s NDTV reported.
The two-hour house arrests came days before a meeting scheduled in New Delhi with Pakistan’s National Security Adviser Sartaj Aziz.
Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani along with separatists Yasin Malik and Mirwaiz Umer Farooq have been invited for a meeting on Sunday at the Pakistan High Commission where Sartaj Aziz is scheduled to hold talks with his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval.
NDTV quoted Indian officials on Wednesday as saying that a “surprise” awaits Pakistan in the talks. However, this was not elaborated.
