Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan on Friday said Congre♈ss leader Rahul Gandhi's ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra is a campaign that was beyond politics and stated there was a duty to 'reclaim' the country's "lost honour." Haasan had joined𓆉 Gandhi in Delhi last month in the latter's pan-India foot march that started from Tamil Nadu in September last.

"It is our responsibility to reclaim the lost ethos of our Bharat. This (Bharat Jodo campaign) is a yatra that is beyond politics," the actor-politician told reporters here. He further said he wanted to conduct the bulltamin💫g sport 'Jallikattu' in Chennai and that efforts were on to secure permission for the same. The aim was🍬 to ensure the city-dwellers get a glimpse of the sport's glory, he added. Jallikattu is generally held in Madurai coinciding with the harvest festival Pongal in the second week of January.
