NEW DELHI: Leading a delegation of party leaders to the riot-hit northeast Delhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said politics of division harms ‘Bharat Mata‘ and India’s reputation in the world has taken a hit due to the violence in the national capital.
Two separate delegations of Congress leaders visited different areas in northeast Delhi to take stock of the situation and meet victims of the violence.
The delegation led by Gandhi included K C Venugopal, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, K Suresh, Mukul Wasnik, Kumari Selja, Gaurav Gogoi and Randeep Surjewala.
The delegation visited a private school in the Brijpuri area that was vandalised and burnt during the riots.
Arun Modern Public Senior Secondary School, which is over 32 years old, suffered massive damage and the Congress delegation went around the gutted classrooms and surveyed the burnt busses.
