Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra posted a picture with brother and former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Monday, which also happens to be Siblings Day.

In the picture she shared on Instagram, the Gandhi siblings can be seen walking up a snow-covered footpath with Rahul resting his hands on Priyanka’s shoulder. The photo is possibly from the end of the Bharat Jodo Yatra when the campaign wound up in Srinagar in early 2023.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra spoke about the courage her brother Rahul Gandhi has to speak truth to power despite the enormous state apparatus used to silence him.

She dedicated the post to Rahul Gandhi that he has the courage to stand for goodness and compassion despite all the filth thrown at him. She said Rahul faces injustice with dignity and would not back down for speaking truth, no matter how many desert him or how many backstab him or no matter how much power is used to silence him.
