Srinagar, Feb 14 (KNS): Former chief minister and National Conference vice-president, Omar Abdullah Sunday said that he along with his father Dr Farooq Abdullah were not allowed to move out of their home as they were locked up by security forces.

As per the news agency KNS, Omar Abdullah in a Tweet said that he and his father were locked up in their home and his sister along with her kids was also locked up in their home. 

"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," he Tweeted. 

In another Tweet he said, "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." 

Meanwhile, in reply to Omar Adullah's tweet, Srinagar police wrote that this was being done in view of the adverse inputs on the 2nd anniversary of Lethpora attack.  

"Today is 2nd Anniversary of dreaded Lethpora Terror incident. There shall be NO ROP on ground. Due to adverse inputs, movement of VIPs/ProtectedPersons has been discouraged and all concerned were informed in advance NOT to plan a tour today," Srinagar police Tweeted. 

In reply to Srinagar police's Tweet Omar said "I’m not even sure if this is actually a police Twitter handle since it’s not verified but assuming it is - please tell me under which law you have detained me in my home today? You can advise me not to leave my house but you can’t force me to stay in using security as an excuse."

In another Tweet he asked about the written communication, informing him about the restrictions being put in place. 

"Please share the written communication address to me & acknowledged by me (or my office) informing us in advance of these restrictions. Surely this anniversary didn’t come as a surprise to the administration," he wrote. (KNS)
