Maharashtra – Tushar Gandhi, the great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, on Monday announced the launch of the Satyagraha Padyatra, describing it as a march to strengthen and protect India’s Constitution. Addressing the media, he stated, “We are undertaking this padyatra with a message of love against the hatred being spread in society and politics by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliated organizations.
