'What was the need of having National Emblem at religious place?': J-K CM Omar Abdullah on Hazratbal row

Amid a row over the defacing of the National Emblem on the plaque installed at the renovated Hazratbal Shrine in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday questioned the use of such a symbol at a religious place while admitting what was by a mob was wrong and shouldn't have happened. He raised strong objections to the use of the national emblem, arguing that he had never seen such government symbols being used in any religious place.
