Farooq warns Geelani of isolation

Acting All Parties Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Omar Farooq has warned hardline separatist leader, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, of isolation if he doesn't join others in the amalgam.

Geelani heads a rebel faction of the APHC.

"There is [a] strong difference of opinion with Geelani. If he cooperates and removes this difference it would be fine. Otherwise, he will slowly be isolated," Farooq said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation's Hindi service on Wednesday night.

"We don't want Geelani's faction to get isolated. We want all of us to work together. But if he doesn't want that, he will be left out," he said.

Farooq said though his faction has 'minor differences' with Yasin Malik and Shabir Shah, it "won't be a problem to work together."
