LS Polls: Azad slams Rahul, Omar for “supporting” Kathua rapist's sympathiser

Jammu, April 17 (UNI) Chairman Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) Ghulam Nabi Azad on Wednesday criticized Congress’s Rahul Gandhi and National Conference’s Omar Abdullah for endorsing a candidate who supported the rapists of Kathua’s daughter.
Addressing public meetings in Sangaldan, and Ukhral areas of the Banihal constituency in Ramban district, Azad raised concerns about the Congress party’s approach to addressing public issues, particularly in BJP-ruled states.
“Such alliances betray the trust of the people and compromise justice,” he said and expressed disappointment with the present leadership of Congress, stating, “Their actions have severely tarnished the Congress ideology we've worked hard to uphold. I would have never allowed this in Congress.”
