NEW DELHI - Syed Ali Shah Geelani, the leader of the hardline faction of the Hurriyat Conference in Kashmir, was heckled by a group of Kashmiri Pandits here on Thursday for his alleged anti-India divisive politics.
The protestors, shouting slogans like ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and ‘Vande Mataram’, created ruckus at the convention on ‘Azaadi — he Only Way’, which was being attended by a number of sympathisers of Kashmiri separatists.
A shoe was later hurled towards Geelani on the dais, but it missed him.
Scores of protestors’ later shouted slogans against him following which the security forces had to intervene.
The security personnel, who covered the Hurriyat chief soon after the incident, later forced the protestors to move out of the seminar hall. (ANI)
