Slain journalist #GauriLankesh’s sister Kavitha and mother Indira Lankesh met Rahul Gandhi and walked with him for a few minutes. Kavitha told TNM that Rahul shared his experience of losing a family member to hate and violence. Image
In Karnataka's Mandya, a group of 12 educationalists and activists met Rahul Gandhi for almost an hour and spoke of issues plaguing the education field in the state. Many issues from NEP to the saffronisation of textbooks featured in the discussions. Image
