Days after the Public Safety Act (PSA) of former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah was revoked, his son, Omar Abdullah is also set to walk home in a week’s time, sources have told WION.

According to the information, the date of the former chief minister hasn’t been fixed but he will be released soon from Hari Niwas Palace, a designated sub-jail on the foothills of Zabarwan mountain range in Srinagar.

Multiple sources in Kashmir and New Delhi have told WION that Omar will be released and his PSA order will also be revoked in days to come.

Omar Abdullah and many other political leaders were detained on August 5 last year when the Centre withdrew special status of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. A PSA was slapped on the leader on February 5 after his preventive detention was due to end.

“Omar will be out anytime,” said a source on being asked about the release of Omar, adding that the custody of another former CM Mehbooba Mufti maybe a little longer.

Both Omar and Mehbooba have been under public safety act and voices have been growing for their release with the improvement in the situation on the ground in the valley.

After being released from his house, Farooq Abdullah has met Omar twice since Friday last week with his wife.

Omar’s sister Sara Abdullah Pilot has filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the continued detention of former Chief Minister. In the latest hearing disputed the claim of union territory administration that setting Omar free will pose a threat to public order.
