On the issue of grant of visa to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq to visit China, minister of external affairs SM Krishna today said he was free to travel anywhere he wanted.
"He is free to travel wherever he wants," Krishna told reporters outside Parliament House. He said the ministry of external affairs encouraged such visits whether these were to "Pakistan or China".
Mirwaiz will be visiting China as a guest of an NGO and will give a lecture there.
When asked if India was considering extradition of 26/11 accused David Coleman Headley, Tahawwur Hussain Rana and some of the accused based in Pakistan, Krishna said, "Investigations are still on. We are awaiting the report of the investigation."
He said once the report was submitted, the government would take appropriate steps.
