Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, donning a turban, paid obeisance at Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib on Wednesday morning before formally beginning the Punjab leg of the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'. He sported a turban and wore a half-sleeved T-shirt to the place of worship. The Gandhi scion was accompanied by Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring and other party leaders. 

Later, he launched a fresh attack on the Centre, saying the general ambience in the country had deteriorated with castes and languages being pitted against one another."They are trying to pit one caste against another and one language against another. They have ruined the general ambience in the country," the former Congress president leader said.
