Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir government withdrew security of separatist leaders, including All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, on Sunday in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack. Other leaders whose security has been withdrawn include Shabbir Shah, Abdul Ghani Bhat, Bilal Lone and Hashim Qureshi.

On Friday, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had said that the security of those "hobnobing" with Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, and getting funds from there will be "reviewed", an apparent reference to the leaders of separatist Hurriyat Conference.
