"I am going back to my roots, I know the suffering of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and come to you with a bowed head," Rahul Gandhi said
Congress's Rahul Gandhi led his Bharat Jodo Yatra into Jammu and Kashmir today, underscoring that it was a "homecoming" for him. "I am going back to my roots, I know the suffering of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and come to you with a bowed head," he said, addressing the people.
"I am here to learn from you. Each one of you have suffered a lot and I want to humbly say that I am here to share your grief," he said.
Drawing a parallel between the Bharat Jodo Yatra and the one undertaken by Vedic scholar Shankaracharya in the 8th Century, Mr Gandhi said in course of it, he found that though BJP and RSS have spread hatred, it "does not" run deep.
"I earlier thought it ran deep but it does not and is mainly seen on television," Mr Gandhi added.
