New Delhi: Madhya Pradesh Congress President Kamal Nath on Sunday challenged leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad to hold a discussion on religion and spirituality with Rahul Gandhi, adding that it will prove that the latter has more knowledge about these subjects than them reported news agency PTI. 

Talking to reporters in Soyatkalan town of Agar Malwa district on the last day of the Bharat Jodo Yatra's Madhya Pradesh leg before it enters Rajasthan, Nath said there is a possibility that Gandhi may embark on another yatra from "east to west" in the country.

 "I challenge the BJP, RSS and VHP leaders to have a discussion with Gandhi on the issues of religion and spirituality before media persons." The discussion will prove Gandhi has more knowledge about religion and spirituality than these persons,” claimed the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister when asked about Gandhi focusing on religion and spirituality in his speeches during the foot march. 

The senior Congress leader said that the main aim of Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra is to save the constitution and culture of the country, the report added. 

The yatra entered the Hindi-speaking belt for the first time and has got a huge response from the people, the state Congress chief said.

The foot march has helped in improving among the people Gandhi's image which the BJP "distorted" through social media in the last eight years, Nath claimed.

"Even those shouting Modi-Modi (in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi) got silenced with the kind of response the yatra got in Madhya Pradesh," he said.

Gandhi started the yatra, a mass contact initiative, from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu on September 7. The foot march will reach Jammu and Kashmir by the end of next month and culminate there.
