Srinagar, June 5 (IBNS): As the ruckus over passport issuance to Syed Ali Geelani seems settling down, the Hurriyat leader was released on Friday morning from his house detention and moved towards Regional Passport Office in Srinagar, Hurriyat officials said.

Geelani has applied for passport on May 21, as Hurriyat statements read, to see his ailing daughter Farhat Jabeen Geelani, who is
admitted in a hospital in Saudi Arabia in a critical condition.

Sources said that the police have left the residential house of Geelani.

Geelani’s application for passport saw huge political storms with union Home Ministry issuing statements and ruling coalition partner in
J&K government, PDP, supporting the same on “humanitarian grounds”.

Geelani has last month applied ‘online’ for the passport and he was given an appointment with Passport Officer on Friday.

His other two family members have already completed biometric formalities for the passport issuance. Spokesman said.
