Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin will launch the Congress’s Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanniyakumari on September 7, the party’s state president, K S Alagiri, said on Sunday.

Stalin will launch the yatra to Kashmir when Congress MP Rahul Gandhi visits the Mahatma Gandhi memorial at Kanniyakumari, Alagiri told reporters.

Alagiri said leaders of the ruling alliance in the state would take part in the yatra on different days. The Congress leader said the yatra was being organised to fight the RSS ideology, which he said was trying to divide people and establish sanatan dharma in the country.
