Rahul Gandhi says J&K should get statehood soon, claims media in fear.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that J&K should be given statehood and that his party will continue to fight against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “ideology that divides India”.

Rahul Gandhi on a two day visit to Srinagar said J&K should get statehood soon and that the democratic process should be started in the region. “I have come here with love and respect. I want that J&K should get statehood soon,” he said, amid applause by the party workers.

The Congress MP also alleged that the BJP has launched an assault not only on Jammu and Kashmir, but on the entire country.

“I fight against Narendra Modi and we will continue to fight against his divisive ideology, the ideology that divides India,” the former Congress chief said addressing a party function here, reported news agency PTI.

“We are not allowed to speak in Parliament on issues like farm bills, Pegasus (snooping controversy), corruption, Rafale (deal) and unemployment,” he said.

Media in fear

He alleged that the media in the country is being suppressed and not allowed to do its job. “They (media) always have a fear when they report as their job is at stake,” he said.

The Congress leader said his fight is not against a person or even on issues such as unemployment or corruption, it is against hatred and fear.
