| 'Something very wrong': Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Asasuddin Owaisi question government over EU MPs Kashmir visit | | | New Delhi: A 27-member European Union (EU) delegation arrived in Kashmir on Tuesday amid questions raised by the opposition on their tour at a time when other politicians are not allowed to visit the state.
Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi and others questioned the government over letting the delegation visit Kashmir.
"MPs from Europe are welcome to go on a guided tour of Jammu & Kashmir while Indian MPs are banned & denied entry. There is something very wrong with that," Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet.
Weeks after Article 370 was abrogated from J&K, which ended the special status given to the state and divided it into two Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, a delegation led by Rahul was stopped at the Srinagar airport and asked to return to Delhi. Later, former chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad was also detained at the airport while trying to enter the region.
Priyanka, on the other hand, termed the government's move to invite the delegation to visit Kashmir as "unique nationalism".
Taking to Twitter, she wrote, "Allowing European MPs to travel and intervene in Kashmir while returning Indian MPs and leaders from the airport itself. Such unique nationalism it is." |
