Politicians who have been detained in Jammu and Kashmir after the government scrapped special status to the state under Article 370 and divided it into two Union Territories will not be kept confined at “VIP bungalows” for more than 18 months, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Sunday, according to news agency Press Trust of India.
Mr Singh said the leaders have not been arrested but are living as “house guests”.

“Political leaders have been kept in VIP bungalows. We have even given them CDs of Hollywood movies. Gym facility has also been provided to them. They are not under house arrest. They are house guests,” the Union Minister of State for the Prime Minister’s Office said at a public event in Jammu.
