LONDON: India has in principle agreed to grant citizenship to Brahumdagh Bugti, self exiled leader of Baloch Republican Party (BRP) and grandson of slain Baloch nationalist Nawaz Akbar Khan Bugti.

According to Geo News correspondent in London, Mr Bugti and his close aides are all set to get Indian passport after negotiations with New Delhi, which will enable them to move around freely.

Quoting credible sources within banned BRP, Geo News reported that Bugti will formally apply for Indian citizenship in Geneva after a meeting of his party leaders on 18-19th September.
