Jammu and Kashmir BJP President Ravinder Raina said that Rahul Gandhi could hoist the national flag at Srinagar’s Lal Chowk due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. The state BJP President also said that someone from the Nehru-Gandhi family has remembered to hoist the Tricolour at Srinagar after 70 years.
Ravinder Raina told news agency ANI, “After 70 yrs, a member of the Nehru-Gandhi family has remembered to hoist the Tricolour at Srinagar’s Lal Chowk. PM Modi and HM Shah get the credit for the fact that Rahul Gandhi could hoist the national flag there amid peace and brotherhood.”
Meanwhile, as Bharat Jodo Yatra draws to a close in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday unfurled the tricolour at Lal Chowk in Srinagar amid stringent security measures.
After resuming the Yatra today, Rahul Gandhi took a break at Sonawar and then drove to the Pradesh Congress Committee headquarters on Maulana Azad Road. He then went to the historic clock tower of Lal Chowk to unfurl the national flag.
During the unfurling of the flag, Gandhi was accompanied by sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and several party leaders from Jammu and Kashmir.
