Rahul Gandhi's UP mahayatra to halt for two days for Eid

New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi will take a two-day halt on 12 and 13 September during his month-long mahayatra in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh in view of Eid and would recommence his march from 14 September. Gandhi is undertaking a “kisan mahayatra” to highlight the plight of farmers in Uttar Pradesh. On the fourth day of the yatra that was kicked off from Deoria in eastern UP on 6 September, the Congress vice-president reached Faizabad on Friday. “My yatra from Deoria to Delhi today in Faizabad and Ambedkar Nagar. In view of Eid, we will halt on September 12 and 13. It will commence from September 14 thereafter,” he tweeted.

देवरिया से दिल्ली की मेरी यात्रा आज फैज़ाबाद और अंबेडकर नगर में.ईद को देखते हुए हम 12th,13th Sept को रुकेंगे.14th Sept से यात्रा जारी रहेगी!

— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) September 9, 2016

He took out a road show in Faizabad and also got a warm welcome from children of Faizabad Public School at Gandhi Park on Friday morning before the beginning of the road show. He also garlanded the statues of Mahatma Gandhi, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Acharya Narendra Dev in Faizabad. He put his pictures of the road show and other events, but not of his visit to Ayodhya, on Twitter. Gandhi, on Friday morning visited Ayodhya, where he offered prayers at the Hanuman Garhi Temple, the first ever visited by a member of the Nehru-Gandhi family since the demolition of the disputed structure in 1992. Before embarking on the fourth day of his mahayatra, the 46-year-old Congress vice-president also met Mahant Gyan Das at the temple. No member of the Congress’ first family has visited Ayodhya since the demolition of the Babri Masjid 24 years ago, in December 1992. Much significance is being attached in political circles to Rahul’s visit to Hanuman Garhi, which is about a kilometre away from the Ram Temple at the disputed Ramjanmbhoomi-Babri Masjid site. Rahul, however, stayed away from the site of ‘shilanyas’, the foundation stone that had been laid there in 1989 for the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
