'When Can I Come? No Conditions Attached’: Rahul Gandhi Hits Back at J&K Governor Malik

Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said he was ready to accept the invitation of Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik to visit the state “with no conditions attached” and asked when he could come.

On Tuesday, Malik had lashed out at Gandhi for putting "pre-conditions" for a visit to Kashmir Valley and alleged he was trying to "create unrest" by seeking to bring a delegation of opposition leaders.

Following remarks by Gandhi that there have been reports of violence in Kashmir, Malik had said on Monday he will send him an aircraft to visit the Valley and observe the ground situation.

Gandhi has put forth many conditions for the visit, including meeting mainstream leaders under detention, the governor said in a statement. Malik said he had never invited the Congress leader with "so many pre-conditions" and has referred the matter to the local police and administration for further examination.
