Separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani is among the former legislators and parliamentarians who will be remembered by the Jammu Kashmir Assembly on Tuesday.
The speaker of the assembly is set to deliver obituary references for former legislators who have passed away since the last session in February 2018.
Those to be acknowledged include former President Pranab Mukherjee, former Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee, former Governor Jagmohan Malhotra, and BJP MLA Devender Singh Rana, who recently passed.
Geelani, who represented Sopore three times in the legislative assembly (winning in 1972, 1977, and 1987), joined the separatist movement following the eruption of militancy in 1989 and subsequently boycotted elections until his death in 2021.
