As the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra inch towards that last few hundred kilometers, the leaders from Kashmir are proclaiming support for the long march. On Tuesday, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti affirmed that she will be joining the Kashmir leg of Bharat Jodo Yatra.
“I’ve been formally invited to join RahulGandhi ji for his Bharat Jodo Yatra in Kashmir today. Salute his indomitable courage and I believe it is my duty to stand with someone who has the courage to challenge fascist forces. Will be joining him in his march towards a better India,” the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said in a tweet.
Leaders of the National Conference (NC) in Kashmir including its President Farooq Abdullah are also expected to join the yatra.

On Monday, Mufti had praised Rahul Gandhi over his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, saying that she salutes him for undertaking the Bharat Jodo Yatra to strengthen secularism and promote unity in the country.
