Congress supported NC\u2019s demand for restoring the public holiday on Sheikh Abdullah\u2019s birth anniversary, while favouring retaining the holiday for Hari Singh. PDP MLAs Waheed Para and Aga Muntazir Mehdi joined the exchange and raised the issue of restoring the July 13 holiday commemorating the killing of 22 Kashmiris outside Srinagar jail during a protest against the Dogra ruler in 1931.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The speaker later said he did not have the authority to grant or withdraw govt holidays. In Jan 2020, the J&amp;K administration had removed July 13 and Dec 5 from the list of public holidays, while Sept 23 was added to the list in 2022.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/history-refuses-to-leave-jk-as-assembly-debates-hari-singh-sheikh-abdullah-anniv-holidays\/articleshow\/134420161.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs staged a walkout from the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Tuesday in protest against the remarks by ruling National Conference (NC) MLAs over the holiday declared on the birth anniversary of Maharaja Hari Singh.
