Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that he felt as if he was being carried along by a "humble" and "respectful" river of people during his 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' in Gudalur in the Nilgiris.
Mr. Gandhi said there was no hatred or disrespect towards anyone during the yatra and it was this idea of India that some people and organisations were trying to disrupt.
Mr. Gandhi, who had arrived in the Nilgiris from Wayanad, addressed a public gathering in Gudalur town. "As I was walking through the town, I felt like I was travelling on a river of men, women, children, all together without hatred or disrespect. The river was humble and respectful. No one was told that they could not speak in Tamil, Kannada or English," he said.
