“J&K Legislative Council in January has already passed a resolution to declare the birth anniversary of the Maharaja as a State holiday but the members of the Legislative Assembly did not take up the issue so far and we will not forgive our elected representatives from Jammu region if the State Government does not declare September 23 as a holiday,” he warned and appealed people of Jammu, irrespective of their caste and religion, to join hands for this genuine cause.
