'Looks like by the time Rahul Gandhi reaches Kashmir, India will see a Cong Mukt Bharat'

Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika on Monday took a dig at Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, saying that by the time the Congress leader will reach Kashmir, India will see a Congress Mukt Bharat.

Hazarika's remark came while he was responding to the clash between two groups of Congress workers during a meeting held at Rajiv Bhawan in Assam's Dhubri district.

"Looks like by the time he (Rahul Gandhi) reaches Kashmir, India will see a Congress Mukt Bharat," Hazarika said in a tweet while sharing a news clip of the clash.

Earlier on Monday, a clash between two groups of Congress workers broke out during a meeting to discuss the Bharat Jodo Yatra at Rajiv Bhawan in Assam's Dhubri district. The incident happened in the presence of some leaders of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee. A meeting was organized at Rajiv Bhawan, Dhubri to discuss the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Assam slated for November 1. The local leaders dismissed the claims of any division within the party and said that some misconceptions prevailed.
