Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah tweets his displeasure on Mail Today's story that he is on the 'squatters list' of VVIPs occupying Lutyens bungalows even after his tenure has expired.

This is what Omar tweets: "Now to the house matter that has created a twitter storm in a tea cup. I'm not overstaying in a Govt bungalow in Delhi. It would have been correct for the Mail Today to verify the facts before printing a story - 7 Akbar rd is allotted to Ghulam Nabi Azad. In his capacity as Union Minister & the JK CM has a bungalow on South Avenue Lane. We have swopped occupancy for our convenience. His has been since 2009 & so neither of us is over staying or violating any guidelines regarding our accommodation."
