"People are very excited and have come to welcome Rahul Gandhi despite the severe cold. Bharat Jodo will resume from Banihal and reach Anantnag on January 27," Congress Leader, Jairam Ramesh said on Friday.
The nine Padma Bhushan awardees include Kumar Manglam Birla (Trade and Industry), Vani Jairam (Art), Sudha Murty (Social Work) and Chinna Jeeyar and Kamlesh D Patel (Spiritualism).
Due to poor weather conditions and landslides, the afternoon leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Ramban and Banihal has been cancelled, informed Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday.
As a concerned Indian, Jethmalani said he is "extremely worried" as Ramesh is challenging the Indian government and Indian Army positions on sensitive border issues - the skirmishes, Galwan, Tawang and Doklam.
"We don't appreciate Digvijaya Singh's personal views. His views are outlying views. We are absolutely clear that the Armed Forces do their job exceptionally well and they do not need to provide proof of that," said Rahul Gandhi.
A day after stirring the hornet's nest, Digvijaya Singh says he has utmost respect for the defence forces, as Jairam Ramesh reminds the media to ask PM Modi a few questions as well.
Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday listed out Digvijaya Singh's alleged controversies and said that he has added "one more to his list of anti-national activities" today.
Amid the political storm over Digvijaya Singh's remarks on surgical strikes, Congress on Monday distanced itself from the party leader's statement stating that it supports "all military actions" in "national interest".
Senior Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and Digvijay Singh, who are in Jammu and Kashmir to participate in the last leg of Bharat Jodo Yatra, on Sunday paid a visit to the hospital, where the survivors of Jammu twin blasts are undergoing treatment.
