Separatist Leader Bilal Gani Lone may soon join mainstream politics: Reports

Separatist Leader and Chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Independent Movement Bilal Gani Lone may soon join mainstream politics, media reports said.

He is the son of late veteran separatist leader Abdul Gani Lone.

“His father was a three-time MLA before joining the separatist ranks. So, if he is joining the mainstream politics he will reclaim that legacy and can make a bigger and visible impact, especially at the time when elections are about to happen,” a political analyst told Daily Excelsior.

The reports suggested that Lone will soon part ways with Hurriyat Conference as he has firmly decided to fight the upcoming Assembly Elections from his ancestral “strongly held” North Kashmir.

“Bilal Lone’s joining of mainstream politics will be a colossal development as it will be the second major exodus of any Hurriyat leader after his brother Sajad Lone bid farewell to the separatist politics,” political analysts on the basis of anonymity expressed to a local media house in the Union territory.
