BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Sunday took out a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ in Srinagar, as part of the ‘Meri Mitti, Mera Desh’ campaign.
Hundreds of people joined the Yatra chanting “Vande Mataram” and “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”.
Local BJP leaders too joined the march, which spanned over 5 km in the city.
Speaking to media persons in Srinagar, Chugh, who is also the BJP’s in-charge for Jammu and Kashmir, came down heavily on former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister and National Conference (NC) patriarch, Farooq Abdullah, over his suggestion in Parliament that India resume bilateral talks with Pakistan to resolve all bilateral issues and restore peace in the Valley.
Chugh said the government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would prefer talking to the people (of Jammu & Kashmir), instead, to resolve all problems.
“Abdullah-ji should stop looking at Pakistan when it comes to finding solutions for local problems,” Chugh said.
