SRINAGAR: JKLF chairman Yasin Malik was today detained at Srinagar Airport soon after his arrival from Delhi and 'escorted to his home' here.

Police sources said that Malik, who returned from Pakistan after over seven-week stay yesterday, was detained at the airport and escorted to his home at Maisuma.

Malik, however, claimed that he has been put under house arrest.

"Malik was taken into custody by police within the airport premises and later taken out through the back gate," a spokesman of JKLF said.

The sources said the step was taken due to apprehension of breach of peace following Malik's return to the Valley.

Kashmir has been rocked by protests since the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru on February 9, which has resulted in the death of four persons and injuries to scores of others.

The separatists have threatened to continue the protests till their demand for return of mortal remains of Guru and JKLF founder Mohammad Maqbool Bhat who was also hanged in Delhi's Tihar jail on February 11, 1984, is met.

Malik has been under attack for meeting terror outfit Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafeez Saeed in Pakistan and his return to national capital yesterday saw protests by Shiv Sena activists at the airport.

Govt may block Yasin Malik's passport for sharing stage with Hafiz Saeed

NEW DELHI: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chairman Yasin Malik, who returned here on Saturday after his controversial visit to Pakistan, was allowed to leave for Srinagar on Sunday morning without any formal "questioning" by the authorities here. Apart from his brief interaction with intelligence officials manning the immigration counter at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, he was spared a detailed explanation to the agencies during his brief stay here, on his appearance along side 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed at a protest in Islamabad last month.

Home ministry sources, however, said the ministry was yet to take a call on revoking his passport for having shared the dais with the Lashker-e-Taiba boss during a fast to protest the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru. According to an official, his passport is unlikely to be reissuedafter the validity of the current passport expires on March 19. Agencies are contemplating blocking his passport for a year or two to send a strong message to Kashmiri separatists who hobnob with terrorists and fugitives during their visits abroad.

Incidentally, Malik's detention or arrest was never on the cards after his arrival here, with the security agencies of the view that it would only help him play the victim. Moreover, they felt that being too harsh on the JKLF leader when Kashmir was still tense over the hanging of Guru as well as the recent killing of a youth in Baramulla, would only aggravate problems in the Valley.

Sources said Malik has, however, been advised to lie low and not make any intemperate remarks or statement that could fan tempers in Kashmir.
