New Indian ExpressNEW DELHI: On the second anniversary of the launch of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the yatra proved that Indians were inherently loving people and "today our mission remains to ensure that the voice of love is heard in every corner of the country". "When I started this journey I said love will conquer hate and hope will defeat fear, today our mission remains the same - to ensure the voice of Bharat Mata, the voice of love is heard in every corner of our beloved country," Gandhi said, using the hashtag 'Bharat judne tak'. Besides, writers and military veterans, including former Army chief Gen Deepak Kapoor and ex-Navy chief Admiral L Ramdas, and noted people such as former Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan and ex-finance secretary Arvind Mayaram also participated in the yatra.
