JAMMU, Jan 14: Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra is scheduled to enter J&K on January 20. “While it enters J&K, it would be most appropriate for the Congress party to re-name it as Maafi Maango Yatra, since “Bharat Jodo” was completed in August 2019 by Modi Government by abrogating and making null and void those instruments that had been introduced by the Congress to disintegrate India (Bharat Todo) by allowing Jammu and Kashmir to become a ‘State within the State,’ stated Brig Anil Gupta, spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party.
In a statement issued here, today he said Rahul and his entourage will have to seek pardon and apologise to the victims of those exclusive laws which kept them deprived of their basic rights for more than seven decades. Article 370 was inserted in the Indian Constitution at the insistence of Nehru despite vehement opposition to it in the Constituent Assembly and by Sardar Patel and Dr Ambedkar.
Rahul would need to apologies for signing the Delhi Agreement in 1952 by PM Nehru with Sheikh Abdullah without the approval of his Cabinet which made Sheikh Abdullah more defiant and assertive by conceding to almost all his demands that allowed the State to have a separate Constitution, a separate Flag and ensuring that most of the Constitution of India do not apply to J&K.
He would also have to apologies for Nehru conceding Sheikh’s demand of denying Fundamental Rights to the citizens of J&K while Indians in the rest of the country enjoyed the same.
Rahul would also need to apologise and repent for the cardinal sin of his great maternal grandfather for unilaterally declaring the ceasefire in 1948 and taking the issue to UN without consulting his Cabinet, agreeing to a plebiscite and thus authoring the so-called ‘Kashmir Problem’. He will have to apologies to the people of Ladakh for ceding so much of their territory to China in 1962, Brig Gupta added.
He said there are many other acts of his family members for which he has to apologise. He has to apologise for blunder done by Indira Gandhi after 1971 war who failed to bargain on PoJK in lieu of over one lakh PoWs and installation of Sheikh Abdullah as CM in 1975 who was jailed by his father for sedition and blunders done by his father Rajiv Gandhi and Manmohan Singh.
