Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s mass contacting campaign, Bharat Jodo Yatra, reached the national capital on Saturday morning.

The foot march crossed into Delhi from Haryana after starting the padayatra from NHPC metro station, Faridabad around 6 am. The Yatra’s flag transfer ceremony took place near Badarpur metro station. “Some people are spreading hatred but the common man of the country is now talking about love. In every state, lakhs have joined the yatra. I’ve said to people of RSS-BJP that we’re here to open the shop of love in your ‘bazaar’ of hatred,” Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said soon after reaching Delhi.

Bharat Jodo Yatra is scheduled to reach the Red Fort around 4:30 pm. The Yatra will also visit Rajghat and pay tribute to the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi.

The yatra has been issued cautionary notes by the Centre amid a rise in Covid cases across the country.
Earlier on Friday, Delhi Police, issued a travel advisory, informing residents about route changes and traffic diversions.

“In view of the Bharat Jodo Yatra of the Indian National Congress in Delhi on December 24, 2022, traffic has been changed on various routes. Citizens are requested to avoid the affected roads and make maximum use of public transport,” the Delhi Traffic Police said.

So far, the Yatra, which started from Kanyakumari on September 7, has covered parts of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra and Haryana.

It is the longest march on foot by any Indian politician in the history of India, the Congress has claimed.
With this yatra, Rahul Gandhi aims to mobilise the party cadre and unite the general public against the BJP’s “divisive politics in the country”.

Attack on Tawang was more about Tibetan buddhism, spirituality than Xi’s geopolitics: Report

ANI

Beijing: The attack on Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang was not just about China’s geopolitics but was more about Tibetan Buddhism and spirituality as the next Dalai Lama could be reincarnated in the district which will ruin the chance for China to select the next incarnation, Vas Shenoy writes in The Times of Israel.

On December 9, People’s Liberation Army troops contacted the LAC in Tawang Sector, contested by Indian troops in a firm and resolute manner. This face-off led to minor injuries to a few personnel from both sides. It seems that the clash was just limited to geopolitics but it was more than that. Tawang, which lies in the border state of Arunachal Pradesh, is home to Tawang Galdan Namgye Lhatse monastery, the oldest and second-largest monastery of Tibetan Buddhism outside of China’s control.

Established in 1681, Tawang Galdan Namgye Lhatse monastery can be a part of the mysterious puzzle to the future of Tibet, its spirituality and politics all of which are currently embodied by the 14th Dalai Lama, according to the author.

The current Dalai Lama, 87, is reportedly not in the best of health. His succession could be hugely contested, and China will try and nominate a new Dalai Lama, to control Tibetan Buddhism.

However, the Dalai Lama could also reincarnate in Tawang, home to several thousand ethnic Tibetan families who have lived around the monastery for generations. Having control of the mountains around Tawang would help the Chinese army to make a further push to capture the monastery eventually, according to the author.

After the 14th Dalai Lama, the Tibetans have to search for the next successor and that will largely dictate the amount of force China needs to employ to retain its absolute control of Tibet, as per the author.

With unexpectedly rising discontent in China, Tibet, and Xinjiang against the supreme leader Xi Jinping whom the CCP has reelected for an unprecedented third term, the CCP is nervous about the current Dalai Lama’s visits to a disputed area in Ladakh by Indian military helicopter, according to the author.

While the current Dalai Lama lives, the status quo in Tibet will remain, a young dynamic Dalai Lama from Tawang might disturb the equilibrium that Xi Jinping has endeavoured to maintain in Tibet, taking with it other provinces like Xin Jiang and strengthening the revolt in Hong Kong as well as Taiwan’s independence, reported The Times of Israel.
