The opposition Congress launched the “Azadi Gaurav Yatra” from the Gandhi Ashram here in Gujarat to commemorate 75 years of Independence and showcase the role played by the party in the freedom struggle and the country’s development post-1947, a kick-off of sorts to the Gujarat election campaign.
The yatra will pass through four states before reaching the final destination Raj Ghat in Delhi on June 1.
The 1,200-km foot march will cover five districts in Gujarat in the next ten days, Congress leaders said on the occasion.
