The Vice President of the National Conference, Omar Abdullah, claimed on Sunday that he and his family, including his father and Member of Parliament Farooq Abdullah, had been placed under house arrest by the authorities.
“This is the ‘naya / new J&K’ after August 2019. We lock ourselves in our houses without explanation. It is bad enough that they have locked up my father (an acting deputy) and me in our house, they have also locked up my sister and her children in their house, “wrote Omar on Twitter.

The former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir also posted photos showing police vehicles outside the gates of his residence in the Gupkar area of the city.
Omar also alleged that staff at his home were not allowed in.
“Chalo, your new model of democracy means that they keep us in our houses without any explanation, but also the staff who work in the house are not allowed in and then you are surprised that they are still angry and bitter,” he said in another tweet .
PDP Chairman Mehbooba Mufti also stated on Saturday that was placed under house arrest before his visit to the family of Athar Mushtaq, one of the three alleged militants killed in a meeting in the town of Parimpora here in December last year.
“Placed under house arrest as usual for attempting to visit the family of Athar Mushtaq who was allegedly killed in a mock encounter. His father was booked by the UAPA for demanding his body. This is the normality that the Government of India wants to show the EU delegation visiting Kashmir (sic), ”he said on Twitter.
