Omar Abdullah says his government had no role in the event organised at a private hotel. Kashmir’s chief priest Mirwaiz Umar Farooq dubbed the show obscene. At the centre of the controversy over the show were designer duo Shivan & Narresh. The Delhi-based designers, whose full names are Shivan Bhatiya and Narresh Kukreja, had showcased their skiwear collection to mark the 15th anniversary of their label. \”Respect for all cultures and traditions is at our heart, and we acknowledge the concerns raised,\” the designers said in a statement on Sunday night, but it did little to assuage the anger over the fashion show in Gulmarg, Jammu and Kashmir, which has sparked outrage on social media. The issue had its inevitable political fallout. PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti said the event “descended into an indecent spectacle” and that too during Ramzan. “Shrugging off accountability could pave the way for more such events, ultimately inflicting severe damage on our culture and society,” she said.
