A delegation led by Paswan had yesterday met Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front leader Yasin Malik and asked him to come forward to end the crisis in the Kashmir Valley.
LJP leader Ram Vilas Paswan today met hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani at his residence here and voiced concerns over the security of minorities living in the Kashmir Valley.
Paswan expressed concern over security of minority communities, including Pandits and Sikhs, who are living in Kashmir, Hurriyat sources told PTI.
Geelani assured Paswan that the minorities in the valley were safe as they were part of the Kashmir society, the sources said.
Stressing that protection of minorities is the duty of Muslims wherever they are in majority, the Hurriyat chairman said the concept of Islamisation was unnecessarily being maligned as Islamic society guaranteed right to life, honour and liberty of minorities.
During the meeting, Geelani raised the issue of killings of civilians in Kashmir.
Paswan assured the Hurriyat leader that he will raise the issue of sufferings of the people of Kashmir in Parliament.
The LJP leader's meeting with Geelani comes a day after a five-member team led by CPI(M) leader Sita Ram Yechury met the hardline leader at his residence.
A delegation led by Paswan had yesterday met Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front leader Yasin Malik and asked him to
come forward to end the crisis in the Kashmir Valley.
Meanwhile, Muslim Majlis MP Assaduddin Owaisi, who had yesterday met Geelani, today called on moderate Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Umer Farooq at his Nigeen residence on the outskirts of the city.
Owaisi, while expressing concern over the situation in Kashmir, urged the separatists to contribute in restoring peace and normalcy in the Valley.
He said his party will discuss the situation and take up the matter with the Central government.
The all-party team led by Union home minister P Chidambaram is in the state to assess the ground situation against the backdrop of unabated unrest that has claimed over 100 lives in the last three months. The delegation will fly to Jammu later in the day.
