Choudhary Lal Singh, president of Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan party, has also decided to join Rahul Gandhi’s march when he enters the union territory.
Singh joining the Bharat Jodo Yatra has evoked strong reaction from many quarters including former chief minister Omar Abdullah who alleged that Singh was trying to ‘whitewash his past’ by joining the Yatra.
Singh had been dropped from PDP-BJP cabinet after he made a controversial speech in support of culprits of a minor girl’s rape and murder in Kathua in January 2018.
