Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday led a foot march to mark the start of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary celebrations and to give a message against what the party called the “atmosphere of fear” in the country.

Congress leaders, K. C. Venugopal, R. P. N. Singh, state unit president Ashok Chavan, leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly Radhakrishna VikhePatil and others joined Congress president as he began the march after garlanding a statue of the Father of the Nation near the district collector’s office in Wardha.

The march culminated at the Circus Ground ( in Ramnagar locality), where the Congress president was set to address a rally.
