The Hurriyat had hosted an iftar party on Monday where a cross-section of people was invited. However, Geelani was missing from the party. Soon after, the conglomerate’s spokesman issued a statement claiming that the veteran separatist leader had been placed under a house arrest.
After the news did rounds in the local media on Tuesday, the police rebutted Geelani’s claim. “Allegations that have appeared in certain local newspapers that we placed Syed Ali Shah Geelani under house arrest on Monday evening to prevent him from attending the iftar party at a local hotel is baseless. He has not been under house arrest and is free to go anywhere,” the police said.

In response, Geelani called a press conference today to present a “proof” of the police statement being “baseless”. “Their statement is baseless. A police van was placed outside my (Hyderpora) residence on Monday evening. Whenever it is placed there, it means that I am under house arrest,” he said.
Geelani also claimed that the police had searched the vehicle of another Hurriyat leader, MA Sehrai, to see if he was inside to ensure that he is not able to move out. The police admitted that Geelani’s movements were restricted on occasions when there was a possibility of him hampering public tranquility or “endangering public life and property”.
In the meanwhile, Geelani went on to say he had been prevented from offering Friday prayers since April 6 and was also not allowed to visit his grandson’s wedding on June 20.
