New Delhi, May 8: Hurriyat Conferences pro-Pakistan faction has become virtually headless with the death of the 77-year-old Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) ideologue Mohammad Ashraf Khan aka Ashraf Sehrai at Jammus Government Medical College Hospital on Wednesday, 5 May 2021.
Separatist hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Sehrai were bosom friends who worked with Jamaat-e-Islami continuously from 1959 to 2003. Both contested elections on JeI s ticket but Geelani alone became a member of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, three times-in 1972, 1977 and 1987.
