Congress leader Surinder Choudhary criticised the BJP’s gherao of its Delhi secretariat, calling it hypocritical and suggested the party block its own headquarters while demanding statehood for Jammu and Kashmir.
Surinder Choudhary, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress, publicly denounced the recent gherao of the BJP’s secretariat in Delhi, labeling the move as hypocritical. He argued that if the opposition wishes to press for Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood, they should first demonstrate the same tactics against their own national headquarters in the capital.
Speaking at a press briefing in Delhi, Choudhary said the BJP’s protest tactics undermine the credibility of their demand for J&K statehood. He urged the party to “gherau” (encircle) its own office to show consistency between method and message.
The leader’s remarks come amid heightened political activity surrounding the long‑standing demand for full statehood for Jammu and Kashmir, a topic that has resurfaced in parliamentary debates and public rallies across the country.
No official response from the BJP has been recorded at the time of reporting. The statement adds another layer to the ongoing discourse on federalism and regional aspirations in India.
