Srinagar: There were massive protests outside Kashmiri separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani's residence in Srinagar this morning after the police refused to allow his party, the Tehreek-e-Hurriyat,to hold a seminar.
Today is the raising day of Mr Geelani's party and he was to address the seminar at his residence-cum-office in Hyderpora, where he has been under house arrest for the last four months.
Mr Geelani's supporters - a few hundred in numbers - clashed with the police, following which the cops had to use batons, water cannons and tear gas on the protesters.
The protests come a day after the National Security Adviser level talks between India and Pakistan were called off.
