No Security No Yatra

When the Bharat Jodo Yatra stopped at Banihal in Jammu and Kashmir, Rahul Gandhi said that during the Yatra, the security system of the police collapsed. Policemen were not seen after leaving the tunnel. My security personnel said that we cannot go any further. I had to stop my journey, others were traveling.
