Ahead of the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir, J&K Congress spokesperson Deepika Pushkar Nath has resigned from the party. Taking to Twitter, Nath said, “In view of Choudhary Lal Singh’s proposal of joining the Bharat Jodo Yatra and Congress allowing the same, I am left with no other option but to resign from Congress. Lal Singh was responsible for sabotaging the Kathua rape case in 2018 by brazenly defending rapists.” However, on 19 Janaury Bharat Jodo Yatra will enter Jammu and Kashmir and it will be joined by Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah Sanjay Raut, MY Tarigami, and Mehbooba Mufti.
