He said the Bharat Jodo Yatra is the voice of people like Lankesh and that can never be silenced. “Gauri stood for Truth, Gauri stood for Courage, Gauri stood for Freedom. I stand for Gauri Lankesh and countless others like her, who represent the true spirit of India,” said the tweet.
The 3,570-km-long Bharat Jodo Yatra began from Kanyakumari on September 8. It has so far covered hundreds of kilometres across the southern states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka.
