Political tensions in Jammu and Kashmir reached a fever pitch as Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge suffered a health scare during a campaign rally in Kathua district. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing concern for Kharge’s well-being, reached out to him personally.
Despite the incident, Kharge remained unwavering in his commitment to the cause, declaring, “The Congress will fight for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.” His determination reflects the party’s staunch advocacy for the rights and aspirations of the people in the region.
In a powerful statement, Kharge delivered a scathing critique of the BJP government, asserting, “I will not die until Prime Minister Narendra Modi is removed from power.” He accused the BJP of controlling Jammu and Kashmir through remote control, adding, “These people never wanted to conduct the elections. They only started preparing for elections after the Supreme Court’s intervention.”
Addressing the rally in the Jasrota belt, Kharge emphasized his unwavering dedication to the cause, stating, “We will fight to restore statehood. We are not going to leave it. I am 83 years old, I am not going to die so early. I will stay alive until PM Modi is removed from power. I will listen to you. I will fight for you.”
Kharge’s health scare, occurring during a crucial election campaign, highlights the deep political divisions in the region and the fierce battle for power. It remains to be seen what impact this incident will have on the upcoming elections and the future of Jammu and Kashmir.
