Updated:1 year, 9 months ago

Bishnah (J&K), September 28 (ANI): During a public rally in Bishnah, Jammu and Kashmir, on September 28, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra shared a poignant memory of her last visit to the region with her brother Rahul Gandhi and their grandmother, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, shortly before her assassination. “You may not know that 4-5 days before the assassination of my grandmother Indira ji, we were sitting at home, I was 12 years old, and Rahul was 14 years old. Suddenly grandmother said, I feel like going to Kashmir, I want to see the Chinar trees that fall during autumn. So we both were children and were very happy to go with our grandmother. She brought us to Kashmir. For the first time, she took me to the temple of Kheer Bhawani...Then we came to Delhi and after 3-4 days she was assassinated and became a martyr... And since then, whenever I go to Srinagar, I visit Kheer Bhawani Mata and remember my grandmother. Nature has given you everything, beauty, resources. The nature of the world is that when someone has everything, then the one whose intentions are not right tries to snatch it. In a way, the BJP leaders have made Jammu and Kashmir a pawn in their political chess. Policies are not made for here, the policies that are made for you are made to do politics,” said Priyanka Gandhi.
