Will follow party's directions, says Harish Rawat on yatra row

Days after Congress leadership instructed him to cease his 'Dhanyawad Evam Jansamvad Yatra', former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat said he would abide by the party's directions. Rawat maintained that the yatra was never intended as a parallel programme to party activities.

The statement comes amid reported tensions within the Congress over the yatra's scope and positioning. Rawat's assurance to follow party instructions signals his attempt to resolve the disagreement while defending the nature of his initiative.
