SRINAGAR, April 22: Thousands of people on Sunday attended a rally in Srinagar to welcome back a Kashmiri leader who underwent cancer treatment in Mumbai.
Syed Ali Geelani, 72, heads the region's main separatist alliance, the Hurriyat Conference.
The ailing leader had a kidney removed two years ago after doctors discovered he was suffering from cancer.
Last month the disease was detected in his second kidney, and he was successfully operated on in Mumbai.
