No holiday on Hari Singh's B'day: Pro-Rajput activists confront J-K Dy CM
India Today Television | September 23, 2017
A scuffle broke out today in Jammu after Rajput Sabha activists confronted Nirmal Singh, Jammu and Kashmir's deputy chief minister, over the PDP-BJP government's denial of a holiday on former king Maharaja Hari Singh's birth anniversary.
It was Hari Singh who signed the instrument of accession, which made the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir a part of India.
Earlier this month, Vikramaditya Singh, Hari Singh's grandson, asked J-K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to declare September 23 - Hari Singh's birthday - a holiday. But that didn't happen.
