KANYAKUMARI: Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said the tricolour belongs to every religion, state and language, but it is under attack today by the BJP and the RSS that are dividing India on lines of religion and language.

Speaking at the launch of the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' at a rally here, he said every single institution of the country is under attack as he sought the support of people to help keep the country united.

"Our tricolour guarantees the right to practice any religion of choice, but today this flag is under attack," Gandhi said at the rally.

He said the tricolour did not come easily as it was earned by Indians of every religion, region and language.

He also alleged that India is facing its worst-ever economic crisis along with the highest unemployment rate ever and the country is headed towards disaster.
