National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah on Sunday claimed that he and his family have been put under house arrest .
The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister posted photos of vehicles belonging to security forces and tweeted saying that his father Farooq Abdullah, sister, and her children have also been locked up. In another tweet, Abdullah said that the staff who works at his residence was also not allowed to enter.
“This is the ‘naya/new J&K’ after Aug 2019,” he wrote. “We get locked up in our homes with no explanation. It’s bad enough they’ve locked my father (a sitting MP) and me in our home, they’ve locked my sister and her kids in their home as well.”
He added, “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 and bitter.”
