New Delhi [India], September 7 (ANI): Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Saturday said that the Bharat Jodo Yatra emerged as a “unifying factor” for the entire country.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra, which started in Kanyakumari on September 7, 2022, and was led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, concluded on January 30 in Srinagar after covering 3,970 km, 12 states, and two Union territories and lasted more than 130 days.
“There is no doubt that the Bharat Jodo Yatra emerged as a unifying factor for the entire country. Lakhs of people from all corners of the country resonated with the message of peace and love shared by Shri Rahul Gandhi,” Gogoi said in a post on X.
“Today we mark the second anniversary of this historic people’s movement, at a time where the constitutional values continue to be under attack by the ruling government. @INCIndia
will not allow politics of hate and division to thrive.
“We remain committed to the constitutional values of liberty, equality, fraternity and justice and work towards securing the present and future of the people of India.”
Earlier in the day the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said the yatra proved that Indians were inherently loving people and “today their mission remains to ensure that the voice of love is heard in every corner of the country.”
“The Bharat Jodo Yatra taught me the beauty of silence. In the midst of cheering crowds and slogans, I discovered the power to tune out the noise and focus entirely on the person next to me–to truly listen. In those 145 days, and the two years since, I’ve listened to thousands of Indians from diverse backgrounds. Each voice has carried wisdom, teaching me something new, and each has represented our beloved Bharat Mata. The Yatra proved that Indians are inherently loving people. When I started this journey, I said, love will conquer hate and hope will defeat fear, today our mission remains the same – to ensure the voice of Bharat Mata, the voice of love is heard in every corner of our beloved country,” Rahul Gandhi posted on X.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the distance covered on foot by Rahul Gandhi and Bharat Jodo Yatris from Kanyakumari to Kashmir awakened an unprecedented public consciousness of love, mutual harmony and brotherhood in the hearts of crores of people.
“On the occasion of the second anniversary of Bharat Jodo Yatra, I only appeal to the people of the country to continue the struggle to preserve the Constitution and democracy,” Kharge said in a post in Hindi.
“Our struggle continues on the real issues of economic inequalities, inflation, unemployment, social injustice, destruction of the Constitution, and centralisation of power,” the Congress chief said.
“We will not let the agenda of hatred and division succeed. The victory of love and humanity is certain. The Congress Party will not stop, it will not pause. The voice of Mother India is our voice,” he said. (ANI)
