Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at the launch of the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', in Kanyakumari on Wednesday. (Photo: PTI)Launching his Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, which will see him walk across 12 states, covering 3,570 kilometres over a period of 150 days, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said “every single institution”, including the national flag, is “under attack by the BJP and RSS”.
Addressing a seaside public meeting, Rahul focused on the Tricolour to counter the BJP’s nationalism pitch. It is not enough to just salute the national flag, it is important to defend the ideas and values behind the flag, he said.

He said the Tricolour represents every Indian – the religion of every single person, state and language of the country. It does not belong to any particular religion or community, he said. The flag offers protection to every Indian, guarantees a free and fair life to every citizen, and the right to practice any religion and speak any language, he said.
