Several photos are being shared with the misleading claim that they are bungalows of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minster's - Omar Abdullah, Farook Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti and politician Gulam Nabi Azad.

The tweet read, "Have a look at the Bungalows of Gulam Nabi Azad Omar Abdullah Farook Abdullah Mehbooba Mufti. These are Government houses & maintained by the Government too at the cost of public money.
U shall soon come to know why such people are opposing removal of Artical 370 & 35A."
