SRINAGAR: A political row erupted in Jammu and Kashmir with the ruling National Conference (NC) and CPI(M) slamming the lieutenant governor's decision to not include days commemorating 1931 martyrs and the birth anniversary of party founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah in the list of holidays for 2025.

Known as Sher-i-Kashmir, Sheikh Abdullah was the founder of NC and a pivotal figure in Kashmiri politics. His birth anniversary, on December 5, was previously observed as a public holiday but was abolished after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
