20,000 from HP eager to join ekta yatra: BJP

State BJP chief Khimi Ram said on Monday that more youths were showing their eagerness to join the Rashtriya Ekta Yatra of the Bharatiya Yuva Janata Morcha (BYJM), which was evident from the fact that their number had swelled from the 15,000 earlier to 20,000, in Himachal Pradesh.

Asserting that the youths were keen to join the yatra and participate in the unfurling of the tricolour at Lal Chowk in Srinagar, he said that the block and district units had sent this number to the BYJM.

Coming out strongly against the Centre and the Omar Abdullah government in Jammu and Kashmir, he said that while the BJYM and BJP were keen to create a feeling of national unity and integrity by unfurling the tricolour, efforts were being made to stop the yatra with the help of the security forces.
