Video: Omar Abdullah Climbs Kashmir Memorial Gate Amid Martyrs' Day Row

In a dramatic move, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah drove to the Martyrs' Graveyard this morning, resisted police's attempts to stop him and other National Conference leaders from visiting the memorial, scaled a wall and paid tributes to Kashmiri protesters shot dead by Maharaja Hari Singh's Dogra forces on July 13, 1931.

The Chief Minister's surprise feat comes a day after he and top Jammu and Kashmir leaders were barred from visiting the Martyrs' Graveyard, or Mazar-e-Shuhada, to mark the anniversary of the July 13 killings. The graveyard is attached to the shrine of Khwaja Bahawuddin Naqshbandi.
