New Delhi: Ahead of the Cong. and BJP clash, Congress leader Gourav Vallabh claimed that the meeting of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat with the All India Imam Organization president is the impact of the party's "Bharat Jodo Yatra", and asked the RSS chief to join Rahul Gandhi in uniting the country.

On Thursday, the RSS chief, who has been meeting Muslim leaders in an unprecedented outreach, visited a mosque and a madrasa in Delhi and met the chief cleric of the All India Imam Organisation, Dr Umer Ahmed Ilyasi, who called the RSS chief "the Father of the Nation".

While talking to the reporter, Mr. Vallabh said that the results of the party's Bharat Jodo Yatra are evident from the fact that for the first time Mr. Bhagwat visited a madrasa.

Moreover, Mr. Vallabh said, "Only 15 days have passed since the Bharat Jodo Yatra has begun and the results are out. A BJP spokesperson said '(Nathuram) Godse Muradabad in television. Mohan Bhagwat went to the house of a person of another religion. This is the impact of Bharat Jodo Yatra."

While adding more, he said that by the time the Bharat Jodo Yatra is over, the hatred and the divisions created by the ruling dispensation will disappear from the country.

"We would like to urge Mohan Bhagwat that if this 15-day yatra has had such an impact on you, you should participate in the Bharat Jodo Yatra for an hour and walk with Rahul Gandhi with a tricolour in hand," he added.

Congress leader Pawan Khera too tweeted, "It has only been 15 days since the Bharat Jodo Yatra has started and BJP spokesperson started.

After visiting a mosque at Kasturba Gandhi Marg in Delhi, Mr. Bhagwat went to the Azad Market Madrasa Tajweedul Quran in Old Delhi, interacted with the children there and also had a piece of advice for them.
