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. It is the responsibility of the administration to control the crowd. Bharat Jodo Yatra started at 9 am. But it was stopped as soon as the yatra reached Banihal.

On the other hand, regarding the Bharat Jodo Yatra on Saturday, Kashmir ADGP Vijay Kumar said, “We are providing three-tier security, all security arrangements have been made.
