India, Oct. 23 -- Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday paid tributes to former legislators and ministers during obituary references on the first day of the Assembly's Autumn Session. He also urged the Speaker to seek an explanation over the omission of Sultan Panditpuri in the obituary reference.

Speaking in the Legislative Assembly, CM Omar said that those whom we are paying respects today have worked to do something better. "Nobody among us is an angel. Mistakes are bound to happen either intentionally or unintentionally," he said.
