Omar scales graveyard gates to pay tributes to martyrs
The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|July 15, 2025
A day after his cabinet ministers, National Conference legislators and leaders were locked and placed under house detention by the Lt Governor administration, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was on Monday allegedly manhandled by police officers, and he had to scale a boundary wall to enter the martyrs' graveyard in Srinagar to pay homage to the martyrs of July 13, 1931.
Since Monday morning, the police and paramilitary personnel had sealed the roads leading to the graveyard at Nowhatta in downtown Srinagar.
When Omar's cavalcade reached Khanyar, he alighted from his vehicle and walked over a kilometre on foot to reach the graveyard. He found the gates locked and a large posse of security personnel guarding them.
