Jammu and Kashmir: Fashion show in Gulmarg during Ramzan sparks outrage, CM Omar Abdullah orders inquiry
PTC News Desk: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has ordered an inquiry into the controversial fashion show that was recently held in the picturesque ski resort of Gulmarg. The fashion show held during the month of Ramzan sparked state-wide outrage with several political leaders and people condemning the event and describing it as 'obscene'.
Abdullah condemned the event, emphasizing that it should not have been conducted, particularly during the month of Ramzan.
"We have ordered an inquiry. A private party was organized, a 4-day event, a fashion show was organized and some things in the fashion show have hurt the sentiments of society. What I have seen there, it should not have been conducted anytime of the year or in Ramzan month," Omar Abdullah said.
Abdullah made it clear that the event was organized by private parties, without any government involvement or permission. "This was a private party and there was no government involvement, no permission was taken, and we will act tough if any law was broken," he stated.
Earlier, Jammu and Kashmir Awami Ittehad Party MLA Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh called the fashion show a direct attack on the state's culture.
