Congress leader and former Hisar MP Brijendra Singh on Tuesday announced that he will launch the "Sadbhav Yatra," starting from Danoda village in Narwana, Jind, on October 5.
During the 'padyatra', Singh, son of Congress veteran Birender Singh, said various national and regional issues would also be highlighted.
He accused the ruling BJP of pursuing "divisive politics" and said "sadbhav" (harmony) had been under strain over the past decade.
“This yatra is not just a march. It is a mission to restore harmony and raise the voices of farmers, workers, youth, traders, employees, and women,” he told mediapersons.
Singh said the 'padyatra' would cover all 90 assembly constituencies in Haryana, spanning between 2,600 km and 2,800 km over the next six to seven months.
In its first phase, the yatra would pass through 14 constituencies: Narwana, Kalayat, Safidon, Jind, Julana, Narnaund, Uchana, Uklana, Adampur, Nalwa, Hisar, Barwala, Hansi, and Bawani Khera, he added.
Singh said the yatra was inspired by Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, which took the party’s vision and values directly to the people of the country.
He added that he had already sent invitations to several Congress leaders and would be inviting more party leaders in the coming days to join the yatra.
