Omar Abdullah Refuses To Sit In Bigger Chair At Jammu Event, Earns Praise

Omar Abdullah requested the management to replace it with a chair of the same size as the others on the dais, garnering applause from those present at the event.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday politely declined to sit in a chair specially arranged for him during an event here as it was larger than the other chairs.

Mr Abdullah inaugurated the four-day 'National Agriculture Summit and Kisan Mela' at the main campus of the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST) in Chatha.

As Mr Abdullah came on the stage, he noticed that his chair was notably larger. He requested the SKUAST management to replace it with a chair of the same size as the others on the dais, garnering applause from those present at the event.
