Srinagar: Carrying Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s message of ” Meri matti, Mera desh” BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh, who is also party incharge of J&K, today took out a Tiranga Yatra here to celebrate Azadi Amrit mahotsava.
Hundreds of people joined the Yatra which raised slogans like Vande Matram , Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
The Yatra covered more than five kms of stretch with local BJP leaders joining in full vigour.
Talking to media persons Chugh lambasted former CM Farooq Abdullah for suggesting that India must talk to Pakistan for peace in J&K. Chugh said the Modi government would talk to the locals to resolve their problems.
Abdullah ji should stop looking at Pakistan for the solution of local problems, he said.
Chugh also condemned Mehbooba Mufti for her remarks that nobody in J&K hold the national flag. Today thousands of people are carrying Tiranga in this March. Hope she can see the transformation taking place in JK, he said.
The J&K is no more a terrorist capital of the country. It’s a tourism capital where locals are looking for progress and development.
