Srinagar: Congress Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra started at 7 am near Parshuram Ji Temple in Hiranagar, Jammu. The yatra covered 8 km in 45 minutes and entered the Samba district from Londi Mor. Jairam Ramesh, general secretary in charge of Bharat Jodo Yatra, has said that there can be no compromise on the issue of Rahul Gandhi's security. This is our top priority. We will fully abide by what the security agencies say.

Let us inform you that Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday met and interacted with local students during his visit to the state. During the yatra that started at 7 am today, Jairam Ramesh and Digvijay Singh were also present along with Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi paid tributes at the statue of former Jammu and Kashmir Finance Minister and MP Girdhari Lal Dogra at Hiranagar Mor. Dogra is also the father-in-law of former Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

Protests started as soon as Rahul entered Kashmir on the second day of his visit to Jammu. On Friday, local youths in Lal Chowk protested against the yatra, raising slogans of Rahul Gandhi Go Back. They have demanded the administration to ban the yatra.
