J&K CM Attends Prayers Amid National Emblem Controversy
Imagine there was a special religious day, like a birthday, and the leader of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, went to pray at a big mosque.
People are talking about a problem: someone put a symbol of the country inside the mosque, but some people are upset because they don't think symbols should be in the mosque.
The leader prayed for everyone to be happy and peaceful.
The issue caused outrage and a plaque was vandalized, leading to calls for action.
Omar Abdullah joined devotees at Hazratbal mosque on Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi.
He prayed for peace, harmony, and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir.
Former J&K CM Farooq Abdullah also attended the prayers.
Controversy arose over a plaque with the national emblem inside the mosque.
The plaque was removed after Friday prayers, prompting police action and political reactions.
