Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra might draw a blank in terms of opposition participation in Uttar Pradesh, but it will have full attendance in Jammu and Kashmir. Three former chief ministers will join the march. Besides Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah of National Conference, People's Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti has also conveyed her acceptance with a strong tweet. MY Tarigami of CPI, another member of the Gupkaar Alliance, will also attend. Ive been formally invited to join @RahulGandhi ji for his Bharat Jodo Yatra in Kashmir today. Salute his indomitable courage & I believe it is my duty to stand with someone who has the courage to challenge fascist forces. Will be joining him in his march towards a better India.
The yatra -- suspended for nine days of year-end festivities -- will resume on January 3 from the Delhi-Uttar-Pradesh border and reach Kashmir by the month-end.
"Ive been formally invited to join @RahulGandhi ji for his Bharat Jodo Yatra in Kashmir today. Salute his indomitable courage & I believe it is my duty to stand with someone who has the courage to challenge fascist forces. Will be joining him in his march towards a better India," tweeted the PDP chief, who was the last Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir before it was placed under President's Rule. Two years later, its statehood and special status granted under the Constitution was revoked.
