"Separate Flag for J&K?" Yogi Adityanath Questions Rahul Gandhi

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has stirred controversy by questioning Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on whether he supports a separate flag for Jammu and Kashmir. This comment was made during a public rally, where Adityanath challenged Gandhi’s stance on national unity and the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

Adityanath’s question comes as a sharp political attack, following Gandhi’s recent visit to Jammu and Kashmir. The UP CM raised concerns about the Congress party’s previous stance on Article 370 and alleged that Gandhi has been silent on critical issues related to national integrity.

"Does Rahul Gandhi support a separate flag for J&K? The country deserves a clear answer," Adityanath asserted, emphasizing the BJP’s position on preserving India's unity. The remark ignited strong reactions from both sides of the political spectrum, with BJP supporters applauding the question and Congress leaders defending Gandhi’s silence as a move to avoid unnecessary political drama.

The Congress party has yet to issue an official statement on the matter. Meanwhile, political analysts view this as part of a broader strategy by the BJP to paint the Congress as indecisive ahead of the upcoming elections.

The debate over Jammu and Kashmir’s autonomy remains a sensitive issue since the abrogation of Article 370, and Adityanath’s question has added fuel to the fire of ongoing political discourse.
