NC decides to observe July 13 as Martyrs’ Day

National Conference will observe July 13 as Martyrs’ Day, honoring the 22 Kashmiris killed by Dogra soldiers in 1931, emphasizing their struggle against monarchy. Despite the government removing it as a public holiday post-Article 370 abrogation, other parties like Apni Party and PDP have called for its reinstatement, while BJP leaders have sparked controversy by denouncing the victims.
