The separatist leader, who was placed under house arrest on Sunday morning ahead of his seminar in Srinagar, had called an all-party convocation at his residence.

Geelani's house arrest comes at a crucial time after NSA-level talks between India and Pakistan were called off by MoFA when it refused to accept conditions laid down by Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
