The picture, with a message about 'freeing the country from the shackles of hate and undoing damage done by BJP-RSS', was tweeted as part of Congress's Bharat Jodo Yatra campaign Monday.
The video purportedly shows a controversial Catholic priest telling Gandhi that ‘Jesus is a real god’. Congress says BJP is desperate after the success of the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'.
Critics say it's a bad strategy to not cover election-bound Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh in the yatra. Congress argues it wants to consolidate the existing voter base.
The yatra was designed to listen to the people of India, said the Congress leader. The opposition, he added, is not scared of BJP despite the agencies at its disposal.
Speaking at the launch of the Bharat Jodo Yatra at Kanyakumari, Gandhi said the tricolour did not come easily as it was earned by Indians of every religion, region and language.
The party’s cross-country ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ will travel 3,500 kilometres from Kanyakumari to Kashmir to protest inflation, unemployment among other issues.
At 73, Ghulam Nabi would have liked to be ‘Azad’ of such considerations after leaving Congress. But old politicians are like old bankers—they never lose interest.
The world watched aghast as police armed with tasers, tear-gas masks—and in one case backed up by snipers—arrested hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters at universities across the United States.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
