J&K separatist Geelani resigns as Tehreek-e-Hurriyat chief
Separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani on Monday resigned as the chief of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir due to health reasons and "other political burdens". Geelani, who led the organisation since its formation in 2004, will now be replaced by his close aide Ashraf Sehrai until formal elections are held later in the year.
