Had to call off Bharat Jodo Yatra today due to lack of security arrangements in Kashmir: Rahul Gandhi
Jammu, January 27
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today said that administration of Jammu and Kashmir failed to provide security to Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Addressing a press conference at Khanabal in Anantnag, Gandhi said, “I got a rousing reception soon after I entered Kashmir.
आज बड़ी संख्या में लोग यात्रा में आए थे।
पर एकाएक पुलिस व्यवस्था पूरी तरह ठप्प हो गयी। मेरे सुरक्षाकर्मी मेरे आगे पैदल चलने के ख़िलाफ़ थे।
उनकी बात सुनकर मुझे अपनी यात्रा स्थगित करनी पड़ी। आशा करता हूं कि कल और परसों यात्रा के लिए उचित सुरक्षा व्यवस्था की जाएगी :@RahulGandhi जी pic.twitter.com/2B79dm9SFv

“However, police arrangement soon collapsed and cops, who were supposed to hold ropes around me were nowhere to be seen,” Gandhi said.
He claimed that his security people became concerned and asked him to cancel his walk and the rest continued. “Its difficult for me to go against what my security people advise me,” he said.
He said that it is the responsibility of the administration to guarantee the role of police.
National Conference leader Omar Abdullah also joined Gandhi during his march in Kashmir region.
