Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik is set to wed Britain-born Pakistani girl Mushaal Mullick on February 22. According to private news channel, Mullick, a post-graduate from the London School of Economics, is the daughter of Rehana Hussain, chief of the Muslim League (women's wing). Her father, late M A Hussain Malik, was an internationally renowned Pakistani economist.
This will be the third high-profile cross-border wedding after Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who married a US citizen of Kashmiri origin, and Sajjad Ghani Lone, who wed the daughter of JKLF Leader Amanullah Khan, from Azad Kashmir. Yasin Malik, chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, is in Rawalpindi city these days. Malik says top Pakistani leaders have been invited to the wedding party.
The 40-year-old Kashmiri leader had met Mushaal during one of his tours to Pakistan two years ago. The wedding dates were fixed during Malik's current visit to Pakistan. The couple got engaged on October 24 when the JKLF leader was in detention for launching a poll boycott campaign in Kashmir.
