Geelani's plan to hold convention scuttled by authorities

Srinagar: Authorities on Sunday scuttled a plan of hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani to host a party convention at his residence here, triggering clashes between Hurriyat activists and police.

Irked by this, Hurriyat activists assembled at a nearby Mosque and tried to break through the police cordon, the official said. Police used water cannon, batons and fired a few rounds of tear gas shells to disperse the protesters. There were no reports of anyone getting injured in the brief clashes, he added. PTI
