The MLA berated BJP leader Choudhary Lal Singh for telling Kashmiri journalists “to draw a line and change their narrative after the killing of (senior journalist) Shujaat Bukhari”.

The Secretariat houses the offices of the Governor’s advisors and senior bureaucrats as the state has been placed under Governor’s Rule.
