“Kerala is the home of God. Standing here today, I feel the presence of God, in you wonderful children.

Re-iterating his mission behind launching the Bharat Yatra, he said “Why am I marching? Because my children are being raped.I refuse to accept that eight children go missing and two are raped every hour. Each time if a single child is in danger, India is in danger. Bharat Yatra is to make India safe again for our children.”
