San Francisco: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday referred to the role of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) which is in power with the BJP as its alliance partner in Jammu and Kashmir, and said, “PDP was instrumental in bringing youngsters in politics, but the day Modi made alliance with PDP, he destroyed them (PDP).”
“So he (Modi) massively opened up space for the terrorists in Kashmir, and you saw the increase in violence,” he added.
Gandhi, who is on a two-week visit to the US to interact with political leaders, global thinkers and overseas Indians, spoke on the political environment in the country, the Congress party, the effects of demonetisation among other issues. (CNS)
