Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu launched ‘Haath Se Haath Jodo Abhiyan’ in the state from Dharamshala on Wednesday, in the presence of state Congress president and Member of Parliament Pratibha Singh and other Congress leaders.
Speaking on the occasion, the chief minister called the campaign an extension of the successful ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ of Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
This campaign would be started throughout the state from 26 January and it will reach up to the village and block level in two months.
At least one meeting will be ensured in every village under ‘Haath Se Haath Jodo Abhiyan’, he added.
The chief minister said a strategy should be chalked out for outdoor advertisement of this Abhiyan and electronic and print media should also be involved in large numbers for its publicity and a Whatsapp group should be formed at the village level.
He said that the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ of Rahul Gandhi would enter Himachal Pradesh on 19 of this month and would culminate at Srinagar with the hoisting of the Tricolor.
This massive campaign launched by Rahul Gandhi has gone a long way in upholding the unity and integrity of the nation, he said.
MP and State Congress President Pratibha Singh also spoke on the occasion.
Co-incharge of Congress for Himachal, Sanjay Dutt presented a detailed outline of the events planned during this campaign.
