MARCH 6: Launching a scathing attack on the Leader of Opposition (LoP) Sunil Sharma and other BJP leaders, People’s Democratic Party leader Iltija Mufti led a protest along with other party functionaries in Srinagar.
Iltija Mufti sought apology from LoP Sunil Sharma and said insulting our martyrs was highly derogatory over the 22 Martyrs of J&K.
Expressing solidarity, Iltija Mufti said “We are here to protect for our dignity and fight for our right”.
“13 July is observed as Martyrs Day. Don’t tell who our heroes are!” Iltija asserted.
She further added that Had these 22 Martyrs not sacrificed their lives, democracy wouldn’t have existed in J&K.
Pertinent to mention, LoP Sunil Sharma termed ‘Martyrs Day’ as ‘Traitors Day’ on March 5.
