His purpose was to address the party workers who had gathered there to pay their heartfelt tributes to the 1931 Martyrs,\u201d National Conference, tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omar, while tagging the twitter handle of Jammu and Kashmir police said: \u201cDon\u2019t think that refusing to give me my escort vehicles &amp; ITBP cover will stop me.

The fact is @JmuKmrPolice has stopped a lot of my senior colleagues from coming to the @JKNC_ office today by adopting the same tactics of stopping them in their homes. Notable amongst those stopped are Abdul Rahim Rather Sb, Ali Mohammad Sagar Sb, Ali Mohd Dar Sb and others, he said in another tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peoples Democratic Party president and former Chief Minister of erstwhile state, Mehbooba Mufti was also barred by authorities to pay homage to 1931 Martyrs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPresident Mehbooba Mufti has been put under house arrest &amp; curbs imposed on the movement of senior leaders.
