Police Lock Srinagar Guest House Gates, Prevents Farooq Abdullah From Meeting AAP MP Sanjay Singh - The Statesman

Farooq Abdullah condemned police actions as a violation of democratic rights while Sanjay Singh protested the detention of Mehraj Malik under the Public Safety Act, highlighting regional tensions.

  • On September 11, 2025, Jammu and Kashmir police secured the gates of a government guesthouse in Srinagar, preventing AAP MP Sanjay Singh, MLA Imran Hussain, and the National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah from meeting or leaving the premises.
  • This incident took place when Sanjay Singh arrived to organize a protest and hold a press conference opposing the detention of AAP MLA Mehraj Malik, who was detained under the stringent security law applicable in Jammu and Kashmir.
  • Singh reported that he was confined under house arrest inside the guesthouse and posted videos capturing his efforts to climb over the locked gate while Abdullah was outside trying to meet him.
  • Chief Minister Omar Abdullah affirmed Singh's house arrest as a reality and questioned the legality of detaining a Rajya Sabha member, while AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal called the police action "hooliganism and dictatorship."
  • The events highlight tensions over Malik's arrest and raise concerns about curtailing constitutional rights to protest and free movement in Jammu and Kashmir under Lieutenant Governor powers.
