J&K CM Abdullah reacts to BJP’s defamation notice, questions blocking access to martyrs' graveyard

The political confrontation in Jammu and Kashmir has intensified on two fronts. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has reacted to the BJP's ₹100-crore defamation notice as a ‘love letter’ after allegations that the party tried to topple the National Conference government. Meanwhile, Abdullah has also criticised the LG’s administration for blocking access to the Martyrs' Graveyard on the July 13 anniversary, questioning the government's claims of normalcy in the Union Territory.
