Actor Kamal Haasan likely to join Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra in Delhi today

New Delhi: Actor Kamal Haasan is expected to join the Congress party's Bharat Jodo Yatra in Delhi on Saturday (December 24). In a previous video message, Haasan stated that the march is for the nation and not just for political parties. He emphasized that this is an opportunity to come together as fellow citizens and create a new India, beyond the divisions of political parties. He urged people of his party- Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) to join him.

'Rahul Gandhi invited me as a citizen'

Haasan also mentioned that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi personally invited him to participate in the yatra, showing that it is not just a political event but rather a chance for all citizens to come together and work towards a common goal. This sentiment was echoed by DMK MP Kanimozhi, who participated in the Haryana leg of the yatra earlier in the day. Kanimozhi described the event as a celebration of diversity, emphasizing that it is a chance for people from all backgrounds to come together and unite as a nation.
