Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra paused as Rahul Gandhi heads to UK for lectures at Cambridge

Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will be on hold from February 26 to March 1 as he travels to the United Kingdom for lectures at the University of Cambridge and other engagements in New Delhi.

Accompanied by his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other Congress leaders, Rahul Gandhi was in Rajasthan's Dholpur on Sunday, the day before the yatra paused for the five-day break.

“Last year, we took out the Bharat Jodo Yatra to unite the country, and this year, from east to west, this Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is being taken out to fight against the injustice happening to the people of this country," Rahul said in his address at Dholpur.

Rahul Gandhi, representing Wayanad in Parliament, is a Visiting Fellow at the Cambridge Judge Business School. He delivered a lecture to students at the university on 'Learning to Listen in the 21st Century' in March last year.

“February 26th to March 1st will be break days to enable Rahul Gandhi to fulfil his long-standing commitment to deliver two special lectures at his alma mater, Cambridge University (UK), on February 27th and February 28th and also to enable him to attend other important meetings in New Delhi," Congress general secretary (communication) Jairam Ramesh said.

Rahul Gandhi was a student at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, where he was awarded the MPhil in Development Studies in 1995. His great-grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, was also a University of Cambridge alumnus, and the Cambridge Judge Chair in Indian Business and Enterprise is named after him. Rahul's father, former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, was also a Cambridge alumnus, according to the university's website.

The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is set to resume on March 2 from Dholpur, Rajasthan. It will pass through Morena, Gwalior, Shivpuri, Guna, Shajapur, and Ujjain, among other districts in Madhya Pradesh.

Rahul Gandhi is expected to visit the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain on March 5. He last visited the temple on November 29, 2022, during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

The east-to-west Manipur to Mumbai yatra, which recently entered Uttar Pradesh, is scheduled to cover 6,700 kilometres through 15 states ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The first leg of the yatra covered a distance of 4,080 kilometres from Kanyakumari to Jammu and Kashmir over almost 150 days between September 2022 and January 2023.

  As Israeli forces intensify their offensive, Netanyahu vows total control of Gaza — but the humanitarian crisis is reaching a breaking point. Will the world stand by and watch? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security. But as international pressure mounts, his government is walking a tightrope between military dominance and global condemnation. The Israeli military has ordered mass evacuations in southern Gaza, warning residents of Khan Yunis and surrounding areas to flee immediately ahead of a devastating assault.

Exposing How the Muslim Brotherhood Fuels Instability Behind a Political Facade

  The Muslim Brotherhood started in Egypt during 1928 since then it has portrayed itself as a combination of political organization and social movement working for Islamic values and governance. jinakata the Brotherhood displays an intricate web that connects extremist concepts and violent deeds which produce regional turmoil.
