Ex-Uttarakhand CM Harish Rawat defies Congress warning, goes ahead with yatra

Former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat is going ahead with his Jan Samvad Yatra from Jaspur to Haldwani in the Kumaun region on Monday. This comes despite a strongly worded communication from the Congress high command objecting to Rawat's private yatra, which is being organised separately from the official party organisation and its programmes.
