Salute Rahul for promoting unity, secularism through Bharat Jodo Yatra: Mehbooba
JAMMU: Lauding Rahul Gandhi for his Bharat Jodo Yatra, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief and former chief minister of J&K, Mehbooba Mufti, on Monday said she saluted the Congress leader for undertaking the march to strengthen secular values and promote unity and brotherhood in the country.

Talking to media persons at the party office in Jammu, Mehbooba said the BJP was constantly attacking Rahul, taking the “shehzade” jibe at him, as he was on the road braving the frigid weather for “uniting the country and protecting its democratic institutions”. People needed to support the Congress leader as he was fighting to save the country, she added.
Accusing the BJP of tearing apart the country’s secular fabric, she said. “The foundation of secularism and brotherhood in India has been shaken and weakened in the last seven-eight years.”
The PDP chief also praised Rahul for paying tributes to Vajpayee, calling it “a good gesture”. “This is the beauty of this country — to even pay tributes to opponents,” she added, ruining that this “is missing now”.
This is not the first time the former CM has taken up the cudgels on behalf of the Wayanad MP. On October 9, she had accused the BJP of attacking Rahul because he was from the Gandhi family, which had a history of making sacrifices for the country.
