Separatists' interest in coalition politics draws flak 1/18/2015 12:10:00 AM Early Times Report srinagar, Jan 17: The separatist leadership has been ridiculed for getting involved by issuing statements on formation of government in Jammu Kashmir. On December 23 last year, Syed Ali Geelani, 85- year- old pro-Pakistan leader in a seminar slammed PDP for joining hands with the BJP.
