On Pulwama anniversary, Omar, Farooq Abdullah placed under ‘house arrest’

National Conference (NC) president Dr. Farooq Abdullah and vice-president Omar Abdullah were placed under house arrest in Srinagar on Sunday, on the second anniversary of the Pulwama attack in 2018 that left 40 CRPF jawans dead. Posting pictures of police vehicles barricading the gates of the house on Gupkar Road, Mr. Omar Abdullah said, “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) and me in our home, they’ve locked my sister and her kids in their home as well.”
