After the head priest or Grand Mufti Bashiruddin Ahmad described the all-girl Kashmiri band as "un-Islamic", the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted," Given the importance the people attach to the fatwas of the Grand Mufti, the less said the better." He later deleted that post. When asked why, he told NDTV: "Once there is something on Twitter, even for a minute, it is forever. I put it and then deleted it after I got the reaction I wanted."
