“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,” Omar tweeted.

Taking to social networking site Twitter Mehbooba wrote: “Placed under house arrest as usual for trying to visit the family of Athar Mushtaq killed allegedly in a fake encounter. His father was booked under UAPA for demanding his dead body. This the normalcy GOI wants to showcase to the EU delegation visiting Kashmir (sic).”
