Speaking to reporters after the foot march, Ms Bhasker lauded the two yatras — ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ and ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ — led by Mr Gandhi.
“The stated objective of this yatra is in its title itself, which is ‘Bharat Jodo’ (unify the country). The country has been suffering from a disease for the last 10 years and that is hatred. I think the objective of this yatra is to remind people that this country was formed because of ‘mohabbat’ (love) and not ‘nafrat’ (hatred),” she told reporters.
“The two Bharat Jodo Yatras led by him are commendable. I do not know any politician who has traversed through the country to listen to what people have in their hearts. Rahul Gandhi wants to meet people and connect with them,” she said.
The actor had also joined Mr Gandhi in his Bharat Jodo Yatra in December 2022.

The ‘Nyay Sankalp Padyatra’ started from Mani Bhavan, the home of Mahatma Gandhi in south Mumbai, and will continue till the August Kranti Maidan, where the Quit India movement started in 1942 during India’s struggle for independence from the Britishers.
Some of the opposition INDIA bloc members also joined Mr Gandhi in the foot march.
Earlier on Saturday, Mr Gandhi concluded his 63-day-old ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ in Mumbai. The yatra, his second within two years ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, had commenced from violence-hit Manipur on January 14.
