Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah promises an enquiry into why a journalism graduate from Kupwara missed his dream internship at the Guardian newspaper in London because he was denied a passport. His visa was denied on the grounds that his father was a supporter of the JKLF.

Omar Abdullah tweets that his government has inquired into the passport issue of Sheikh Ruhail.

"It is coming up for review today as he had applied for a review of the rejection. Am sure if there is nothing in his own record his relative's history will not prejudice his passport application.

"That having been said this case raises the wider question of why the CID rejection, against stated policy, happened in the first place. I will get to the bottom of this issue because although this case was highlighted I must ensure there aren't others going unnoticed."

Here's the background of that story.
