The National Conference (NC) on Tuesday, July 12, 2022 said the Lieutenant Governor’s administration was not allowing leaders to visit the Mazar-e Shohada (Martyrs Graveyard) in Srinagar on July 13 to observe the anniversary of the 1931 uprising, which started the local Muslims’ assertion in politics during the Dogra monarchy.
An NC spokesman accused the L-G administration of dilly dallying on allowing the party leaders to offer prayers and floral tributes at Mazar-e Shohada in Srinagar’s Khawaja Bazaar, for observing July 13 as ‘Martyrs Day’.
“There has been an inordinate delay by the administration in giving the required permission to the party for offering tributes and ‘fatiha’ at the Martyrs Graveyard. The party’s general secretary had sought permission from the administration for visiting the graveyard, but the concerned office is not in receipt of any communication from the side of administration so far,” NC spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said.
