In a dramatic escalation of tensions in Srinagar, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his cabinet colleagues defied restrictions imposed by the LG administration to enter the Martyrs’ Graveyard. After being blocked by police, Abdullah scaled a wall to enter the premises and pay floral tributes. This act marks a significant show of defiance against the administration, which had placed political leaders under house detention on July 13 to prevent commemorations, citing security concerns. Abdullah condemned the lockdown as undemocratic, stating, "If I am a slave, then I am a slave of the people here." The incident highlights the ongoing power tussle between the elected National Conference government and the LG administration, with the former feeling increasingly disempowered in what is described as a "dual power structure". This confrontation signals a potential shift to a more aggressive strategy by Abdullah’s government. #omarabdullah #srinagar #jammuandkashmir #itwebvideos #nationalconference #lgadmin #martyrsgraveyard #kashmir #politicalnews #indiatoday #defiance #powertussle #jandk #freedomofspeech
