INDIA’S opposition Congress party ended a five-month cross-country “unity march” in the disputed territory of Kashmir today.
Hundreds of members of various opposition groups joined a public rally in freezing weather.
The march, led by leading Congress politician Rahul Gandhi, sought to challenge what the party says is a “hate-filled” version of the country under the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu chauvinist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
