New Delhi, Dec 24: Amid the COVID cases surge, actor and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) leader Kamal Haasan will take part in Congress’s Bharat Jodo Yatra in Delhi Saturday. With the functionaries of MNM on their way to join their leader, Haasan in a video message on Friday urged Tamilians living in Delhi to take part in this yatra.
Haasan said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrote to him inviting him to take part in the Bharat Jodo Yatra not as leader of a political party but as a fellow citizen.
"As an Indian, I consider this as an effort to regain lost values. My wish is that Tamils living in Delhi should take part in this initiative in a huge number. This is a march for the nation, it is beyond parties. I am coming to the capital on December 24 to meet you all. Come on everyone, let us create a new India," Haasan said Friday.
It is pertinent to mention that Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya wrote a letter to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, on Tuesday 20th December 2022, asking to follow the COVID-19 guidelines strictly during the party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra or postpone it.
Besides, Rahul Gandhi has also come in close contact of Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu during this yatra who has been tested COVID positive. Notably, he tested positive after participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
