A day before he is scheduled to go on the Punjab part of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul Gandhi paid a visit to the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Tuesday.
Web Desk for India Today Rahul Gandhi visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Tuesday afternoon before the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra’s Punjab leg.
Rahul Gandhi visited the Golden Temple, and the Congress posted pictures of his visit. Before the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Punjab got underway, Rahul Gandhi paid respects at the internationally renowned Golden Temple in Amritsar, which serves as a symbol of religious harmony. He prayed for the happiness, peace, and prosperity of the nation.
Congressman Jairam Ramesh told reporters in Ambala that Rahul Gandhi will spend a few hours in Amritsar before heading back to Sirhind in Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab, today evening.
Harsimrat Kaur Badal, the head of the Shiromani Akali Dal, criticised Rahul Gandhi for visiting the Golden Temple.
The Punjab Congress’ enthusiasm and delight in receiving Rahul Gandhi, the family’s successor who has forsaken Punjab and Sikhs and attempted to demolish even their sacred sites, is shameful, according to the SAD leader.
Harsimrat Kaur Badal criticised the Congress leader’s visit to Amritsar, saying, “To date, this (Gandhi) family has not apologised, and you are greeting them.”
