On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi subtly mocked Rahul Gandhi’s “Bharat Jodo Yatra” in Jammu and Kashmir by emphasising how the situation in the Valley had improved since Article 370 was repealed.
Some claimed that raising the Tricolor may disturb the calm in Jammu and Kashmir. How the times have altered. These individuals are currently taking part in the Tiranga Yatra “in the Lok Sabha, Modi remarked.
On March 31, Srinagar marked the end of Rahul Gandhi’s 3,800-kilometer-long “Bharat Jodo Yatra” march. Mehbooba Mufti, the leader of the People’s Democratic Party, and Omar Abdullah, the vice president of the National Conference, both attended the ceremony at Sher-e-Kashmir Stadium. Rahul Gandhi even raised the Tricolor at Lal Chowk in Srinagar.
Modi discussed his 1992 trip to the Kashmir Valley as a BJP volunteer during his speech. “Those who recently returned from J&K must have seen how you can travel there. With the intention of hoisting the tricolour at Lal Chowk, I had also travelled on a yatra to J&K. Dekhte hain, kisne maa ka doodh piya hai jo Lal Chowk aake Tiranga phehra paaye,” the terrorists had written on posters, he claimed.
At a public demonstration that day, on January 24, I had declared, “Terrorists pay heed. I’ll arrive at Lal Chowk on January 26 at exactly 11 a.m. sans security or a protective vest. The Prime Minister declared, “Then I hoisted the Tricolor at Lal Chowk.” Faisla Lal Chowk pe hoga kisne apni maa ka doodh piya hai.
“J&K is at peace right now. There can be hundreds of visitors. J&K has broken numerous tourism records. In J&K, a festival honouring democracy is being held. Successful campaigns like “Har Ghar Tiranga” have been conducted in the union territory, Modi continued.
