Srinagar, Sept. 23 -- Jammu and Kashmir assembly witnessed noisy scenes on Tuesday after the ruling National Conference (NC) members sought restoration of the state holiday on the birth anniversary of party founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah or cancellation of holiday commemorating Maharaja Hari Singh. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members objected after NC MLA Abdul Majeed Larmi demanded that either the holiday for the birth or death anniversary of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah-which fall on December 5 and September 8, respectively-be restored, or the holiday commemorating Maharaja Hari Singh on September 23 be cancelled. Larmi was speaking during the question hour on the second day of the autumn session of the J&K assembly. "Tomorrow, there is a holiday in the name of Maharaja Hari Singh. My demand is that there should be holidays on Sheikh Abdullah's birth and death anniversaries. I want the holidays restored or cancel the holiday observed in Maharaja's memory," Larmi said, immediately triggering the opposition BJP members. Four months after the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, the centre-controlled administration of J&K changed the list of official holidays. The administration did away with July 13 (Martyrs' Day) and December 5 as official holidays, and added October 26-the day the region acceded to the Union of India in 1947-to the list. After Larmi's demand, the BJP members immediately stood up and started shouting slogans like 'Maharaja Hari Singh amar rahe'. As the BJP members continued raising slogans, Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather urged the members to have their seats. "I am here neither to announce any holiday nor to cancel any. Some members expressed their opinion only," he said. PDP MLA Waheed Para also supported the demand of restoration of December 5 holiday....
