Rahul Gandhi should apologise to J&K people before Yatra enters UT: BJP
The HinduBefore his Bharat Jodo Yatra enters Jammu and Kashmir, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi should apologise to the nation, especially the people of the Union territory, for the "sins committed by his family and party" in the region over the last 70 years, the BJP said on Wednesday. BJP's J&K unit chief Ravinder Raina alleged that the Congress has been sympathetic to parties who supported terrorism and asserted that it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has "truly united the country", while the opposition party has done otherwise. “Gandhi family and Congress have made historic blunders related to Jammu and Kashmir and are directly responsible for the eruption of terrorism which has consumed thousands of lives.” "Before entering J&K, Gandhi should apologise to the nation, especially people of J&K, over the mistakes and sins of the party which it committed over the past 70 years," Mr. Raina told reporters here. "After halting for the night, Gandhi will lead the yatra from Hatli Morh in Kathua from 7 am the next morning," Ms. Patil said, adding that the rally will reach Jammu on January 23.
