NDTV
The places being considered as options for the overnight stay of yatris include the Khalsa Stadium beside the Vaishnav Stadium and the Chimanbagh Sports Ground, Indore Congress chief said.
A controversy has erupted in Madhya Pradesh over one of the proposed options of the night stay of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra when it enters Indore later this month.
The venue at the centre of the row is the Khalsa Stadium in Indore city.
The presence of Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath at a Sikh function on Guru Nanak Jayanti (November 8) at the Khalsa Stadium had led to a controversy with Ragi Manpreet Singh Kanpuri lashing out at the organisers for inviting him.
A group of people from the Sikh community, led by a local BJP leader, had later "purified" the venue with holy water.
