Omar Abdullah Joins Rahul Gandhi's Yatra In Jammu And Kashmir, Both In T-Shirts

The Bharat Jodo Yatra is not aimed at improving the image of Rahul Gandhi but for improving the situation in the country, said Omar Abdullah.

National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah on Friday joined the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Banihal, Jammu and Kashmir, saying that the Rahul Gandhi-led march is not being carried out for the image makeover of the Congress leader, but rather to change the situation and atmosphere of the country.

The former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir said he does not want to delve into Congress' stand on the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

"The Bharat Jodo Yatra is not aimed at improving the image of Rahul Gandhi but for improving the situation in the country," the NC leader told reporters upon his arrival in this highway town, 120 km from Srinagar.

Mr Abdullah said he joined the yatra as he was more concerned about the image of the country. "We have not joined this for the image of an individual but for the image of the county," he said.
