Srinagar, July 11, KDC: PDP leader and MLA from Pulwama, Waheed Ur Rehman Para, has questioned the Jammu and Kashmir government’s “silence” over the upcoming July 13 commemoration, historically observed as Martyrs’ Day.
In a post on social media platform X, Para said that neither the Chief Minister nor any senior official from the Civil Secretariat or Chief Minister’s Office has taken charge of the preparations or revival of the day.
He alleged that governance around the day now seems to have shifted to the National Conference’s Nawai Subh office. “From Waqf resolutions to anti-BJP grandstanding, now even commemoration of July 13 is ‘stage-managed’ from their party office, not from the office of @CM_JnK,” he said.
“If Farooq sb and Omar Abdullah sb can walk into the Hazratbal shrine, what is the fear that keeps them away from the graves where Sheikh Abdullah began his political journey?” Para further questioned. (KDC)
