Srinagar: Targeting the Centre over the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other BJP leaders should walk from Jammu to Lal Chowk if the situation is so good in the Union Territory.
Addressing a press conference on the eve of the culmination of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Congress MP said, “Target killing and bomb blasts are happening in Jammu and Kashmir and if the security situation has improved then the conversation the security personnel are having with me should not have been required. If the situation is so good why don’t the BJP people walk from Jammu to Lal Chowk? Why doesn’t Amit Shah walk from Jammu to Kashmir if the situation is so secure? I don’t think that argument holds.”
Congress has alleged a security lapse during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Kashmir.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged that police arrangement “completely collapsed” during Bharat Jodo Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir and he had “to cancel” his walk.
Rahul Gandhi in the press conference also said, “I got to learn a lot from Bharat Jodo Yatra. I met lakhs of people and talked to them. The aim of the Yatra was to unite India. We traveled against the hatred and the violence that is being spread. Bharat Jodo Yatra received a great response in the country. No one was expecting that we will receive so much response. We saw the resilience and strength of the people of India during this journey. We raised the issues of inflation and unemployment. We also got to hear about the issues being faced by farmers, and unemployed youth in the country. Bharat Jodo Yatra has been one of the most beautiful and profound experiences of my life.”
“I want to thank everyone. The people of the country, CRPF and police personnel who helped us during the yatra,” said the Congress leader.
The yatra will proceed to Nehru Park in the Boulevard area of the city and will culminate on Monday.
Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra resumed on Friday morning from the National Highway-44, Banihal Railway station, in the UT’s Ramban district.
