We appreciate the Jammu and Kashmir police and welcome their statement saying they will continue to ensure complete security till the culmination of the yatra.
However, you will appreciate the fact that a large crowd of common people has joined and walked in the Bharat Jodo Yatra every day. It is difficult for the organisers to tell exactly how many people are expected over the day as it is a spontaneous gesture of the common people to join the yatra.”
Detailing out the plans of last leg of Bharat Jodo Yatra, Member of Parliamnet Kharge said, “We are expecting a huge gathering to join the yatra over the next two days and also the function that will be held on 30th January at Srinagar. Many senior Congress leaders and leaders of other important political parties are attending the culmination function to be held on the 30th of January.
I shall be grateful if you could personally intervene in this matter and advise the concerned officials to provide adequate security till the culmination of the yatra and the function on the 30th January at Srinagar.”
Mallikarjun Kharge earlier stated that the lapse in the security of Rahul Gandhi in Jammu and Kashmir is disturbing.
“It is the responsibility of the Government of India to provide adequate security. India has already lost two of its prime ministers. We demand that better security should be given to the Yatris.”
