Moderate Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq may have had a secret meeting with ISI chief Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha in Europe,although he denies that.

The Mirwaiz had gone to Brussels for a Kashmir conference on May 3 and 4 and returned to Delhi on May 9.

Sources in Geneva said the Mirwaiz had travelled there from Brussels after the conference and reportedly met Pasha. The Pakistani media had reported that Pasha had gone to the US on May 6 but later it was stated that he had gone to some undisclosed country.

Mirwaiz denied that he had ever met the ISI chief. “On the day I am supposed to have met Shuja Pasha,the US had already killed Laden. How would Pasha come all the way to meet me when he was at the centre of world’s attention?’’ Mirwaiz told The Indian Express. “I never met ISI chief’’.
