Impact of Bharat Jodo Yatra: Cong on Bhagwat's meet with imam organisation chief

New Delhi, Sep 22 (PTI) The Congress claimed on Thursday that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's meeting with the head of the All India Imam Organisation was due to the impact of the party's "Bharat Jodo Yatra" and requested Bhagwat to walk with Rahul Gandhi in uniting the country "with a tricolour in hand".

Taking forward his outreach to the Muslim community, Bhagwat visited a mosque and a madrassa here on Thursday and held discussions with the All India Imam Organisation chief, who termed him "rashtra pita".

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) "sarsanghchalak" went to a mosque in central Delhi's Kasturba Gandhi Marg and followed it up with a visit to the Madarsa Tajweedul Quran in north Delhi's Azadpur. This was Bhagwat's first ever visit to a madrassa, an RSS official accompanying him said.
