Addressing an event in Jammu, Rahul said: “I feel I have come home. My family has a long relationship with Jammu and Kashmir."

Rahul added, “I'm a Kashmiri Pandit and my family is Kashmiri Pandit. Today morning, a delegation of Kashmiri Pandits met me. They told me that Congress implemented many welfare schemes for them, but BJP has done nothing.”

The Congress leader said that he also plans to visit Ladakh, adding that whenever he visited the union territory, he feels "at home". "This is my second visit to Jammu and Kashmir in a month and will be visiting Ladakh shortly. I had said in Srinagar that whenever I come to Jammu and Kashmir I feel that I have come home.
