Hurriyat chief Geelani hospitalised

Hardline Kashmiri separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani was hospitalised here on Sunday due to ill health.

The Hurriyat Conference chairman was shifted to SKIMS hospital after he complained of abdominal cramps, dehydration and weakness, a Hurriyat spokesman said.

He said Mr. Geelani has been admitted at the hospital and is under observation. He added, there is “nothing serious” as far as the Hurriyat hawk’s health is concerned. The octogenarian leader has been under house arrest in his uptown Hyderpora residence here for over an year.
