No role of Govt in Gulmarg fashion show, says CM Omar

Questions denial of permission to deputy CM from visiting Kathua

Jammu: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday clarified that the JK government had no role in organising the fashion show at Gulmarg.

Speaking in the Assembly, Abdullah, stated that the event was a private function held at a private hotel, with no government infrastructure involved.

He said the administration has been directed to investigate if the organisers violated any laws. “They have been told that the matter should be handed over to the police if any violation has been done,” he said.

Abdullah also questioned the decision to allow the Leader of the Opposition Sunil Sharma to visit Kathua while denying permission to the Deputy Chief Minister.

“If the situation was so bad in Kathua, why was the LoP allowed to visit there but the Deputy CM was denied permission?” he asked. (KNO)
