Former MP chief minister Digvijaya Singh announced a new ‘Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra’ that will travel from Ujjain to Ayodhya starting 20 October, positioning it as a non‑partisan campaign against religious exploitation.
Bhopal, Sept 30 – Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijaya Singh unveiled a nationwide outreach called the “Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra” during a press meet in the state capital. The rally is slated to commence on 20 October, departing from Ujjain and proceeding to the holy city of Ayodhya, covering several key towns along the way.
Singh described the yatra as a moral crusade aimed at curbing the misuse of religion for personal or political gain. He said the journey will highlight the need for respect of India’s timeless cultural values while safeguarding individual dignity.
While Singh is a senior figure in the Indian National Congress, he emphasized that the initiative is not a campaign for any party. “This is about the nation’s conscience, not about electoral arithmetic,” he stated, underscoring a broader political message.
The itinerary will include public meetings, cultural programs and discussions with local leaders. Organisers expect the yatra to draw large crowds, especially in regions where religious sentiment intersects with social issues.
