SRINAGAR, June 26: After cutting short his visit to the United Kingdom, Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah arrived and drove straight to the gutted Shrine of Peer-e-Dastgeer Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani.
Omar appealed to the people to maintain peace and exercise restraint and exhibit highest degree of tolerance.
“The entire State is anguished and is in a state of mourning,” he said.
“The Holy Shrine will be restored to its original glory and the best possible expertise engaged in the process of restoration.”
“All of us who regard and respect the divine and revered Shrine should stand for peace and tolerance,” the Chief Minister told reporters.
Omar Abdullah was on a trip to London where his mother lives.
