Following the defacement of the national emblem at Srinagar’s Hazratbal shrine, Ladakh LG Kavinder Gupta pledged strict action. Omar Abdullah criticized the emblem’s placement, emphasizing its use in government functions, not religious sites. The NC demanded the removal of Waqf Board chairperson Darakhshan Andrabi, alleging misconduct and accusing her of instigating the crisis for political gain, while BJP defended Andrabi.
