The ethnic strife in Manipur symbolises the politics of hate that the BJP-RSS follows, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said while launching his Manipur-to-Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra on Sunday in Thoubal.
The 6,713-km yatra, covering much of the distance by bus, was flagged off by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge at Thoubal, around 35 km from Imphal. The yatra will conclude in Mumbai on March 20 after passing through 15 States in 67 days.
The Congress leader embarked on the yatra with a promise of bringing peace and harmony in the violence-hit State.
