“Centuries ago, it was saint Shankaracharya, who had undertaken a Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir to create a renaissance. Now it is Rahul who is walking to unite India, liberate it of the venom of hatred and divisions through his 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, traversing thousands of kilometers. I don't know how this amazing thought dawned on him (Rahul). We wholeheartedly support him. But all my blessings are with him. I wish him success in his endeavours. I want to see his efforts succeeding to revive Lord Rama's India and Gandhi's India where we can all, including our sisters and daughters, walk holding our heads high, without any fear,”
