New Delhi, Feb 12: The Centre is considering the option of revoking JKLF chief Yasin Mailk's  passport after he was seen sitting with Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Saeed at a sit-in in Islamabad on Sunday.



 
Sources here said, Yasin Malik will be questioned by security agencies on his return to Delhi to explain why he was hobnobbing with India's most wanted terrorist Hafiz Saeed, who masterminded the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.  
 
The Home Ministry believes that by sitting with Hafiz Saeed, Yasin Malik is giving legitimacy to the terror mastermind.
 
The two were seed sitting together at the funeral prayers for Afzal Guru held by pro-Kashmir groups in Islamabad on Sunday. Also present was former JKLF chairman Amanullah Khan.
 
Yasin Malik had called Afzal's hanging a "blot on Indian democracy". Malik is in Pakistan to visit his wife, a Pakistani national.
 
A media report said, even as Yasin Malik was urging PoK leaders to  organize public protests against Afzal's hanging, Hafiz Saeed, who was to lead the funeral prayers at 2pm, reached the venue ahead of schedule and left after urging the Pakistani government not to maintain silence on the Kashmir issue.
