New Delhi, July 15 -- Chief ministers of West Bengal and Tamil Nadu on Monday slammed the house arrest of their Jammu and Kashmir counterpart Omar Abdullah and his ministers over their plans to visit the graveyard of those killed by Dogra forces in 1931.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said it amounted to snatching the democratic rights of a citizen. "What is wrong in visiting the graveyard of martyrs? This is not only unfortunate, it also snatches the democratic right of a citizen," Banerjee posted on X.

"What happened to an elected Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is unacceptable. Shocking. Shameful," she added.

Abdullah and several leaders of the National Conference and opposition parties were put under house arrest on Sunday...
