As Kashmir Valley is experiencing heavy snowfall during the last 24 hours, Rahul Gandhi wears a "Pheran" due to the severe cold. Congress leaders had earlier hailed him for wearing only a T-shirt in the freezing cold.
Leaders of Kashmir-centric politicals, especially of the National Conference and PDP who joined the Bharat Jodo Yatra at Lakhanpur, Jammu, Banihal, and Awantipora, were conspicuously absent at the Tricolour unfurling ceremony at Lal Chowk on Sunday.
J&K BJP president Ravinder Raina said that it was all due to the normalization of the situation that Rahul Gandhi peacefully unfurled the national flag at Srinagar s Lal Chowk.
Within minutes after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleges a security lapse during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Kashmir Police issued a statement on Friday to deny any security break during the foot march.
