Jitendra leads ‘Tiranga Yatra’ in Jammu

JAMMU: Union minister Jitendra Singh led a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ — a rally with the national flag — organised by the BJP youth wing as part of its ‘Bharat Jodo Abhiyaan’ (Unite India Campaign) in Jammu today.

Singh flagged off the yatra at Pandit Prem Nath Dogra Chowk, along with BJP State president Sat Sharma.

The rally, organised by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), passed through major city thoroughfares before coming to an end at the BJP office in Kachi Chawni.

Addressing the gathering before the yatra, Singh said “‘Tiranga’ (the Tricolour) will fly high in every situation and in every region of the country.

“(Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder) Shyama Prasad Mookerjee gave his life for a great cause and the ‘Tiranga’ will fly high in every situation, in every region,” he said.

He said separatism was restricted to just two-and-a-half districts of Kashmir, and accused the opposition of spreading misinformation. (AGENCIES)
