ITDC INDIA EPRESS/ ITDC NEWS After a halt due to the alleged security lapse, Rahul Gandhi on Saturday resumed his Bharat Jodo Yatra from Awantipora, Jammu and Kashmir. Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that he was forced to cancel the yatra at Qazigund in south Kashmir due to lack of security arrangements.

The Congress has accused the government of withdrawing security personnel from around Gandhi as the Yatra reached near Qazigund. Congress demanded action against responsible for the alleged security breach.

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday wrote a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah seeking his intervention in the matter.

"We are expecting a huge gathering to join the yatra over the next two days and also the function that will be held on 30th January at Srinagar. Many senior Congress leaders of other important political parties are attending the culmination function to be held on the 30th of January," said Kharge in the letter.

"It is difficult for the organisers to tell exactly how many people are expected over the day as it is a spontaneous gesture of the common people to join the yatra," he wrote.

"I shall be grateful if you could personally intervene in this matter and advise the concerned officials to provide adequate security till the culmination of the yatra...at Srinagar," Kharge added.
