Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge writes to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to ensure the smooth passage and safety of Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in the State.
Apprehending trouble by miscreants during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in West Bengal, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has written to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee seeking appropriate directions to ensure its smooth passage through the State and the safety of the yatris, including Rahul Gandhi.
In his letter, Mr. Kharge expressed fear that some miscreants may try to show the State administration in bad light or disrupt the yatra, as had happened in some neighbouring States.
He said the Congress has embarked on the "Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra" from Manipur to Maharashtra to spread the message of justice to heal and unite the nation.
Mr. Kharge said Rahul Gandhi, who is leading this yatra had earlier walked from Kanyakumari to Kashmir in the Bharat Jodo Yatra, has always maintained that the yatras serves a larger purpose of uniting people who stand divided today by the BJP in the name of religion, caste and creed and to ensure that the weakest are assured of justice social, economic and political.
"That is why the yatras have remained apolitical and attracted crores of people across India cutting across all sections of the society who identify with a strong, progressive and secular 'INDIA for All'," he said.
