Srinagar: Senior Indian Congress leader Saifuddin Soz on Monday claimed he continued to be under house detention, and that the main gate of his residence has now been locked from inside as well.
The former Union minister urged the country’s judicial system to take notice of the situation.
“I have already explained my position that I continue to be under house arrest. The Supreme Court was told by the government on July 30 that I was a free man. I had categorically stated that the government had made a false statement before the Supreme Court and outside too,” he said in a statement here.
“I had rebutted the false statement that very day and subsequently also, but the government continued to spread the falsehood, rather unnecessarily,” he said.
Soz said the policemen posted at his house have now locked the main gate from inside as well.
“I saw a change having taken place today in respect of myself being under house-arrest and it was that the main gate of my house has now been locked from inside also,” he said.
“Certain observers from outside the state have been asking as to why the Supreme Court allowed narration of lies in its courtroom. To that question, I can only say that the country’s judicial system can take notice of all such situations,” the Congress leader said.
