Mehbooba Mufti also highlighted the delay in issuing of passport to her daughter Iltija who wants to pursue higher studies outside the country.
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday sought External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's intervention for her passport, saying she has been waiting for it for the past three years to take her 80-year-old mother on a pilgrimage to Mecca.
In a letter to the minister, she said her passport's renewal has been pending as the Jammu and Kashmir CID gave an adverse report that issuing the travel document to her would undermine national security.
Ms Mufti also highlighted the delay in issuing of passport to her daughter Iltija who wants to pursue higher studies outside the country.
"I am writing to you about a matter that has dragged on needlessly for the last three years, the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said and added that "my mother (Gulshan Nazir) and I applied for passport renewal in March 2020".
