BJP slams Omar for reviving 'politics of graves'; Lone calls visit scripted

Srinagar, July 14 (UNI) Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s visit to the Martyrs’ Graveyard in old Srinagar, which saw him climb a fence to enter the area, has drawn sharp reactions from political leaders in Jammu and Kashmir.
BJP's Jammu and Kashmir spokesperson Altaf Thakur launched a scathing attack on the Chief Minister and the National Conference, accusing them of reviving “divisive and dangerous politics” under the garb of commemorating July 13.
“Omar Abdullah is shamelessly indulging in the politics of graves just to remain politically relevant. By glorifying the events of 1931, he is whitewashing a day soaked in the blood of innocent Kashmiri Pandits. This is not a tribute — it’s a calculated provocation,” Thakur said in a no-holds-barred statement.
