The Gujarat Congress is set to launch a protest march—‘Nyay Padyatra’ (justice march)—on August 9, party officials aware of the matter said.
The yatra will be led by Congress Seva Dal chief Lalji Desai, along with Gujarat Congress President Shaktisinh Gohil and Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and party president Mallikarjun Kharge are also likely to join the yatra, which will commence in Morbi and culminate in Gandhinagar on August 22.
The yatra will be launched demanding justice for victims of recent tragedies in Gujarat, a party leader said.
“This march aims to shed light on a series of devastating incidents that have rocked the state and the entire country in the past two years, including the Morbi bridge collapse, the TRP Game zone fire in Rajkot, and the Harni Lake tragedy in Vadodara,” said Gujarat Congress president Gohil.
