27 Jan 2023 Evaluate

The Bharat Jodo Yatra's aim is not to ‘improve’ Rahul Gandhi's image but to change the prevailing atmosphere of the country, National Conference leader Omar Abdullah said today as he joined the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Banihal, Jammu and Kashmir.

Former Jammu and Kashmir CM said ‘We have joined this march not for the image of an individual but for the image of the country’. He said that Rahul started the yatra with an aim to change the situation and atmosphere of the country and not for his image makeover. Abdullah further said that it might be for the ‘first time since Independence that the ruling party does not have a single member of Parliament from the Muslim community. It shows their attitude’.

Speaking on the Congress's stand on the abrogation of Article 370, Abdullah said, ‘We will fight the case for the restoration of Article 370 in the court. The way the government is dragging its feet on the hearing of the petition tells us that our case is very strong.’ He said he does not want to delve into Congress' stand on the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
