Yasin Malik Tells Delhi High Court He Was Engaged by Six Governments on Kashmir Issue

Jailed separatist leader Yasin Malik has claimed before the Delhi High Court that six Indian governments engaged him to help resolve the Kashmir issue.

In a sworn affidavit, he stated that the meetings were later distorted to portray him as a conspirator in a terror-funding case.

Malik claims the Intelligence Bureau requested him to meet with militant leader Hafiz Saeed in Pakistan in 2006. He also stated he briefed then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on his return.

The claims were made in a written submission as a response to the NIA's appeal seeking the death penalty against him.
