Srinagar: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and party’s JK spokesman Altaf Thakur Sunday said Bharat Jodo Yatra was actually a move to stay relevant in politics as Bharat Jodo was completed on August 5, 2019 when J&K was fully integrated with the Union of India.
Thakur said August 5, 2019 saw the real integration and by that move all the misdeeds of Congress were undone especially the blunders of Nehru-Abdullah accord or 1952 Delhi agreement, which was done without the approval of the government.
Thakur said that since August 5, 2019, people of J&K are heaving a sigh of relief and are reaping the real benefits of Article 370 roll back. It is for the first time that JK citizen irrespective of caste, colour and creed are being treated at par and equally with the citizens of any part of India.
He said he hopes that Rahul Gandhi would apologise during the ‘so-called’ BJY for the blunders of his grandmother Indhira Gandhi who entered into an accord with Sheikh-Abdullah in 1975 instead of securing the release of one lakh PoWs.
Thakur said that BJY is nothing but a move to keep the disgruntled Congress men in a false hope that they will get power but the reality is that the party has been reduced to just a few MPs as BJP has over 300 MPs which means absolute majority and it would take Congress decades to reach that figure as people of India have realised how Congress cheated them for decades and promoted family rule not only in Delhi but in J&K as well.
