“Home minister is lying on the floor of parliament that I am free. I remain under house arrest. A big lock has been put on my gate,” former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah told the media from the balcony of his house on Aug. 7, two days into the central government’s revocation of Article 370 which granted the state special status within Indian Union. He said his son Omar Abdullah, another former chief minister, was also in jail.
