No PDP, NC Leader Under House Arrest On August 5: JK Police.

Jammu Kashmir police on Friday said that August 5 passed peacefully and no leader from PDP or NC was placed under house arrest.

Earlier, JKNC tweeted that party President Farooq Abdullah was placed under house arrest.

“Dr Farooq Abdullah has been placed under house arrest after returning from Nawai-Subha where he had earlier presided over a meeting and said We will peacefully fight for our RIGHTS that were illegally, unconstitutionally and undemocratically snatched from us on August 5, 2019,” JKNC said in a tweet.

“It seems they have to place this truck outside the gate out of some compulsion because it’s a senseless act (aside from being totally illegal). He went to the office, went for Namaz, went for a condolence visit. The truck arrived after he had nowhere else to go today. Fools!!” Omar Abdullah tweeted.

However, the police refuted the allegations.

In a handout issued to GNS, the Srinagar police said that there is a fake news going that some NC and PDP leaders have been placed under house arrest in gupkar road, this news is completely baseless. There are additional personnel deployed on gupkar road on certain places in view of certain inputs of militant attack.

The police spokesperson further stated that Ms Mehbooba Mufti visited her party headquarters around noon time and Dr Farooq Abdullah visited Hazratbal shrine and his friend in Shalimar in Afternoon. Media friends are advised to verify news from authorities before circulating.

JKP is a fully professional police force and is well aware of its duties, reads the statement.(GNS)
