Ex-J&K CM Omar Abdullah freed after over seven months of detention

Live Mint  

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah stepped out from detention into what he called “a very different world” on Tuesday as he rallied his party to work for “better days” in his embattled erstwhile state. Omar Abdullah tweeted, “232 days after my detention today I finally left Hari Niwas. On 18 March, the Supreme Court gave the Central government a week to release Omar Abdullah on a plea by his sister Sara Abdullah Pilot. We have a long & difficult road ahead of us but together we will ensure J&K sees better days.” The father-son duo and Mufti were put in preventive detention, with Omar Abdullah additionally booked under the draconian Public Safety Act in February, after the Central government scrapped the erstwhile state’s special status.
