Geelani not positive for Covid, he is doing well: Family

The family members of senior separatist leader and former chairman of Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Geelani has not tested positive for Covid-19 and is doing well, family members of ailing leader said.

“My father has not tested positive for Covid-19. He is absolutely fine by the grace of Allah,” Geelani’s son, Syed Naseem Geelani told news agency

Earlier, some media reports suggested the Geelani had tested positive for the deadly virus. Pertinently, the 91-year-old leader recently resigned as the Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman. He, however, continues to be under house arrest at his Hyderpora residence since past more than eight years
