All India Congress Committee general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday said that party president Mallikarjun Kharge has invited 21 "like-minded" parties to join the concluding function of the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Srinagar on January 30.
The yatra, which started from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu on September 7, will end at Srinagar on January 30, with Rahul hoisting the Tricolour there.
"Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge has written to presidents of 21 like-minded parties inviting them to the concluding function of the #BharatJodoYatra on January 30th," Ramesh tweeted.
The function is dedicated to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi who was assassinated on January 30 (in 1948), Kharge said in the letter tweeted by Ramesh.

"I look forward to your positive response," he ended the letter, requesting the chiefs of 21 like-minded parties "to meeting you in Srinagar."
