\"\"Jammu: Twenty-eight BJP members on Wednesday made derogatory remarks against the July 13, 1931, Kashmiri martyrs in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Leader of the Opposition from BJP Sunil Sharma made the remarks against the Kashmiri martyrs of 1931 in response to a speech by PDP legislator Waheed-ur-Rehman Para, who demanded the restoration of public holidays on July 13.<\/p>\n

CPI-M member M.Y. Tarigami and Congress leader Nizamuddin Butt also joined the chorus, demanding that the remarks against the 1931 martyrs be expunged and that the Leader of the Opposition issue an apology.<\/p>\n

July 13 was observed as a public holiday in Jammu and Kashmir to commemorate the 22 men who were shot dead by the autocratic Dogra Maharaja\u2019s soldiers outside Srinagar Central Jail in 1931.<\/p>\n

However, this holiday, along with the December 5 holiday marking the birth anniversary of Sheikh Abdullah, was scrapped by the BJP-led government under the Lt. Governor’s administration post-2019, following the abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of the erstwhile state into two union territories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
