Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is on a visit to Ladakh, will reach Srinagar on a two-day “personal visit” and will be joined by his mother and former party president Sonia Gandhi the next day, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president Vikar Rasool Wani said on Friday (August 25).
Describing their visits to Srinagar as a “family tour”, Wani said that the two leaders will not engage in any political meetings with any party leaders during their stay.
Rahul is in Ladakh for the last one week and will depart for Srinagar after addressing a public rally in Kargil Friday morning, the JKPCC president said.
He said he will be joined by his mother Sonia Gandhi on Saturday.
Rahul Gandhi reached Ladakh on August 2 on his maiden visit to the region after it was granted the Union Territory status in 2019.
The erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir was also turned into a Union Territory with its special status under Article 370 revoked.
During his stay in Ladakh, Rahul Gandhi has toured all famous places in the region including Pangong lake, Nubra valley, Khardungla top, Lamayuru and Zanskar on his motorcycle before reaching Kargil on Thursday.
Another Congress leader said Rahul will be reaching Sonamarg in central Kashmir's Ganderbal district from Kargil in the afternoon before moving to Srinagar where he will be staying for two nights at a houseboat and a hotel.
