NEW DELHI, Dec 3: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chief Yasin Malik was thrown out of a hotel in Delhi with his wife and 18-month-old daughter.

His group, the JKLF, said from Srinagar that Mr Malik and his family had gone to Delhi on Sunday and booked two rooms in a hotel near Nizam-ud-din railway station. But they were asked to leave around midnight by the hotel management.

Mr Malik and his family had to wait on the roadside for several hours before they took shelter in a friend’s house, the JKLF said in a statement.

“If Delhi gets upset due to our presence there, it should formally introduce a law that could prevent the people of Kashmir from visiting the national capital,” it said.

“Only due to the person’s political ideology, he was thrown out of the hotel along with his family. Such action cannot be legitimised at any level,” the statement said.
