SRINAGAR, Jan 8: Terming Bharat Jodo Yatra a people’s movement, former J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president Ghulam Ahmad Mir today said that the Yatra is bound to create an atmosphere of positivity and security in the country.
The former JKPCC president was addressing a largely attended public gathering at Mati-Gawaran “a far-flung area” of Anantnag district. The public meeting was part of Bharat Jodo Yatra awareness programme.
Addressing the gathering, Mir said policies of BJP are based on lies and deceit detrimental to the idea of India and the democratic institutions in the country, which are under attack since the BJP Government assumed power at the Centre. He said every right-thinking citizen feels suffocated under the BJP rule, as that, there was no sector left which has not been damaged due to the highhandedness and misrule on the part of BJP.
“The ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi will bring the derailed democratic setup back on track, besides ensuring stability, freedom of speech, expression and protection of institutions empowering and benefiting people directly since the nation achieved freedom from the British colonial rule after sacrificing thousands of precious lives,” he asserted.
Mir referred to the current security scenario and derailed political process in J&K and emphasized the people to join and support Congress party in the fight against BJP’s highhandedness and endeavors to abandon J&K of democratic rights aiming to fulfill its political agenda. He said Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi has infused confidence amongst the people and it will bring the Nation out of morass and confusion created due to hate and religious politics by the BJP and RSS.
