“This is the “naya/new J&K” after Aug 2019. We get locked up in our homes with no explanation. It”s bad enough they”ve locked my father (a sitting MP) & me in our home, they”ve locked my sister & her kids in their home as well,” Omar wrote on Twitter.
The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister also posted photographs showing police vehicles outside the gates of his residence in the Gupkar area of the city here.
“Chalo, your new model of democracy means that we are kept in our homes without explanation but on top of that the staff that works in the house aren”t being allowed in and then you are surprised that I”m still angry & bitter,” he said in another tweet.
Meanwhile, National Conference has condemned the arbitrary detention of party President Dr Farooq Abdullah, Vice President, OmarAbdullah and their family at their residence in Gupkar, Srinagar. The party has demanded immediate lifting of these ‘uncalled for and unlawful’ measures.
