Jammu: JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla on Thursday attended meeting convened by Congress Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh to step up and advance its nationwide Bharat Jodo Yatra to counter BJP’s allegedly divisive policies. The foot march, from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, will pass through 12 states and 2 Union Territories, covering around 3,500 Km and will be spread over 150 days. Bhalla said that the Yatra would unite the people against bigotry. “Every Indian who believes that instead of divisive politics, the focus of governance should be on providing productive jobs to crores of youth, easing the burden on crores of our families of the intolerable price rise of essential commodities, ensuring the welfare and well-being of Kisans and protecting our Jal, Jangal and Zameen for securing livelihoods and dignity for crores of Adivasis, Dalits, and other weaker sections of society,” said Bhalla.
