The Jammu and Kashmir Government has launched a massive crackdown on separatist leaders ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state.

The separatists have planned to take out a 'Million March' in the Valley ahead of the Prime Minister's visit.

All prominent separatist leaders, including JKLF chief Yasin Malik, senior Hurriyat leader Shabir Ahmad Shah and Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, have been either detained or put under house arrest.

Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman Syed Ali Geelani, who continues to be under house detention since he returned from New Delhi this April, has announced a 'Million March' on November 7 the same day when Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to address a rally in Srinagar.
