Taking to Twitter, National Conference vice-president and former chief minister Omar Abdullah claimed trucks have been parked outside his residence’s gates to scuttle the protest.
“Good morning & welcome to 2022. A new year with the same J&K police illegally locking people in their homes & an administration so terrified of normal democratic activity. Trucks parked outside our gates to scuttle the peaceful JKPAGD sit-in protest. Some things never change,” he tweeted
Former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti had also been placed under detention. “A truck is parked outside my house too,” she added.
