Joining the growing opposition voice against the government’s move to allow a delegation of European parliamentarians to visit Jammu and Kashmir, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said there is “something very wrong with that”.
“MPs from Europe are welcome to go on a guided tour of Jammu and Kashmir while Indian MPs are banned and denied entry. There is something very wrong with that,” he tweeted.
Several leaders from the Congress have questioned the government for allowing the foreign leaders to visit J&K but preventing Indian leaders from doing so, claiming it was an insult to India’s democracy and “ultimate disrespect” to its sovereignty.
Opposition slam govt decision to send EU delegation to Kashmir
Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma said the party would raise the issue in Parliament, adding India’s decision violates the collective privileges of its MPs. Inviting EU lawmakers to JK is the “ultimate disrespect” to Indian Parliament’s sovereignty, Sharma added.
