Moni Sharma

Srinagar: Congress on Monday took out a rally to mark the culmination of its Bharat Jodo Yatra in J&K amid heavy snowfall. The rally began from the Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium and was joined by representatives from DMK, NC, PDP, CPI, RSP and IUML.

Speaking at the rally, Rahul said he was warned that he might be attacked in Kashmir but, “people here did not give me hand grenades but hearts full of love”.

He spoke about pain of losing someone while remembering his father Rajiv’s assassination, saying that he understood the pain of those who lost their kin in Pulwama attack. Gandhi also said the RSS and BJP were targeting the liberal and secular ethos of country by inciting violence.

I have not done this (Bharat Jodo Yatra) for myself or for the Congress Party but for the people of the country. Our aim is to stand against the ideology that wants to destroy the foundation of this country.

—Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader
