Bahujan Samaj Party member in the Lok Sabha Danish Ali on January 14 said he will be joining Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Manipur.
“Today, I have decided to join Shri Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. This is a very important moment for me. I have arrived here after much soul searching. In the atmosphere prevailing in the country, I had two options. Either to accept the status quo and ignore the exploitation of Dalits, backwards, tribals, minorities and other marginalised and poor sections, or to launch an all-out campaign against this atmosphere of fear, hate, exploitation and the deepening divide in the country. My conscience pushed me to take the second option,” Mr Ali said in a statement.
