Hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani and the moderate Mirwaiz Umer Farooq were both arrested and removed from their homes late Sunday night on the eve of their proposed march to city centre Lal Chowk Monday.
Authorities here are tight-lipped about where the two senior separatist leaders have been lodged.

Latest from news Pakistan shows that the coalition govt.which formed with so much fanfare, is about to tear asunder due to the blare of factional noises. It is to this Pakistan that Geelanis and the Farooqs and other anti Indian Islamist groups wish to have solidarity for support for independence, or accession after separating from India. This suicidal path of these Islamists passes beyond comprehension,and is nothing but lunacy.It is even now not too late for these people to see sanity and try their best to find common ground with the rest of India and join the mainstream polity for Kashmir's growth and development with honour. The Indian govt.should remove the Special Status laws from the Constituion and create a sense of uniform nationality for all Indians, with some essential respects for Islamist special treatment.
