MLA( Member of Legislative Assembly) Kulgam,Tarigami on Monday voiced his concerns regarding the removal of July 13 and December 5 holidays from the list of Holidays for the 2025 calendar year
In a post on X , Tarigami wrote, “It is very unfortunate that July 13 & December 5 have been dropped from the list of holidays for 2025 calendar year. July 13 holds immense historical significance for J & K, as it commemorates the sacrifice of those who laid down their lives protesting against autocratic rule and advocating for human dignity.”
“Similarly, December 5, Sheikh Sahb’s birthday, is a day of great importance. Sheikh Sahab and his colleagues made great contributions toward empowering people by democratizing society, implementing radical land reforms.” he added.
“Introducing free education and empowering women as part of the Naya Kashmir manifesto. Attempts made to erase such pivotal milestones from our collective memory undermines the values they represent. Distorting the history in this way will serve no purpose.” Tarigami wrote.
