Bharat Jodo Yatra: Congress has alleged security lapses in Congress leader Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir, and accused the administration of the Union Territory of failing to manage the crowd.
After the Congress alleged lapses in security arrangments in the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Jammu & Kashmir Police on Friday said that it was not consulted before taking any decision on discontinuation of the yatra after 1 km by the organisers.
Taking to Twitter, the Jammu & Kashmir Police said, "JKP was not consulted before taking any decision on discontinuation of Yatra after conducting 1 km yatra by organizers. The rest of yatra continued #peacefully. There was no security lapse at all. We will provide foolproof security."
"Only authorised persons identified by organisers and the frisked crowd were allowed inside towards the route of Yatra," the police added.
The police further stated, "Organisers and managers of BJY did not intimate about large gatherings from Banihal joining the Yatra, which thronged near the starting point."
