The Congress has called for a day's fast today at Mahatma Gandhi's memorial Rajghat in Delhi, in what the congress calls an attempt to "promote communal harmony" and to protest clashes during the Dalit protests on April 2. Rahul Gandhi has joined the fast. Rahul Gandhi has reached the fast venue. The BJP meanwhile has launched a scathing attack, claiming that congress along with SP and BSP have been fanning the dalit violence.
