India’s main opposition Congress party ended a five-month cross-country “unity march” in disputed Kashmir with a public rally. The march was led by Rahul Gandhi, an opposition leader and scion of the influential Gandhi family.
. Opponents say Modi’s lack of criticism of the violence emboldens right-wing groups and threatens national unity, but his party has denied this.Modi’s party dismissed Gandhi’s march and speeches as a political gimmick to regain his “lost credibility.”
In Srinagar, Gandhi told reporters that Modi “is almost frankly the only person in the country who is under the impression that the Chinese have not taken any land from India.” He set a conciliatory tone in Kashmir, where New Delhi in 2019 ended the region’s semi-autonomy and took direct control of it amid a widespread crackdown and communication blackout.
