‘Abdullahs, Mufti and others to join Bharat Jodo Yatra’
Srinagar: Member Parliament and AICC general secretary K C Venugopal on Tuesday said that all prominent political leaders including Dr. Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti, and others have expressed their willingness to participate in Bharat Jodo Yatra.
“Certainly I am very much happy to say that leaders like Dr. Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti, and others are joining Bharat Jodo Yatra in J&K,” Venugopal told media persons here.
He said like-minded people and parties across India have expressed their will to join the yatra. “The impact of yatra is increasing with each passing day, which vindicates that people of the country want secular ethics intact within the country”.
Venugopal said the yatra is aimed to send a clear and loud message to divisive forces like BJP and Sangh Parivar “who caused massive damage to the country and its constitution.”
Meanwhile, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday said she will be joining the Kashmir leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
“I’ve been formally invited to join @RahulGandhi ji for his Bharat Jodo Yatra in Kashmir today. Salute his indomitable courage and I believe it is my duty to stand with someone who has the courage to challenge fascist forces. Will be joining him in his march towards a better India,” the former chief minister said in a tweet.
