Srinagar, Sep 04: Reiterating that J&K has to get back the Statehood, senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Parliament Rahul Gandhi said that definition of democracy doesn’t fit with the J&K that has been reduced to a UT from being a State.
He said that in 1947, the then Maharajas’ (Kings) were side-lined to pave the way for democracy and an elected government. “In J&K, we have a LG. I believe the LG word is wrong. It should be ‘Raja’ of 21srt Century as he acts at his will,” Rahul said.
He reiterated that wherever BJP opens the shop of hatred, Congress will open shops of love. “We will win this battle by promoting brotherhood and harmony,” he said. Rahul urged the people to support each other. “Wherever there is an NC candidate, Congress leaders and workers should support him and vice-versa,” he said, adding that the NC-Congress government will come to J & K for sure.
He said that Kashmiri Pandits were exploited by the BJP for vote bank politics. “In lieu, KPs got nothing,” he said. Rahul asked party candidate from Dooru, Ghulam Ahmed Mir to invite him for two to three days to Anantnag. “You are inviting me for 45 minutes. Is say dil nahi bharta,” he said.
