New Delhi: All India Congress Committee general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday said party president Mallikarjun Kharge has invited heads of 21 like-minded parties to attend the concluding ceremony of the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Srinagar on January 30. This series, which started from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu on September 7, will end with Rahul hoisting the tricolor in Srinagar on January 30. “Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge has written to presidents of 21 like-minded parties to invite them to the closing ceremony of the Bharat Jodo Yatra on January 30,” Ramesh tweeted. The program is dedicated to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi, who was assassinated on January 30 (in 1948), Kharge said in the letter tweeted by Ramesh.
Kharge said in the letter, “From the beginning of the yatra, we have invited every like-minded Indian to participate. On the invitation of Shri Rahul Gandhi, MPs from several political parties have also joined the yatra at different stages.”
“I now invite you to personally attend the closing ceremony of the Bharat Jodo Yatra to be held in Srinagar on January 30 in the afternoon,” Kharge said. “We will commit ourselves to fight hatred and violence”, to spread the message of truth, compassion and non-violence and to protect the constitutional values of liberty, equality, fraternity and justice for all, the letter said. “I look forward to your positive response,” he ended the letter, requesting the heads of 21 like-minded parties “to meet you in Srinagar”.
