SRINAGAR: The National Conference in J&K has expressed disappointment over the LG’s decision not to include days commemorating the martyrs of 1931 (July 13) and party founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah (December 5), in the list of holidays for 2025.
“Today’s holiday list and decision reflect the BJP’s disregard for Kashmir’s history and democratic struggle,” NC spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq wrote in a post on X.
CM Omar Abdullah had earlier this month hinted that the holidays removed after the repeal of Article 370 would be restored. Both the holidays were removed by the LG administration after 2019, when Article 370 was repealed.
CPM’s Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami also called the administration’s move an attempt to distort history.
