On October 16, Nousheen Baba Khan from Kolkata got to interact with Rahul Gandhi while taking part in Bharat Jodo Yatra. A brief account of the interaction He is inside a D-shaped security perimeter.
But even then, he interacts with people whenever he can. On Sunday morning, I was close to the perimeter and shouted “Rahul sir, I am from Kolkata”.
I did not expect an answer but to my surprise, he turned. After locating me, he asked me to come up to him. We shook hands and I could only muster “congratulations”. He said “thank you”. I don’t know why I congratulated him. It was a spontaneous thing.
Maybe because of what he has already accomplished by the yatra. To me, he looked like a statesman. It takes a lot of courage to do what he is doing. He faces constant lampooning and vilification.
Despite that, he is focused on making India a better place.
