Ahmedabad: A viral video showing Union Home Minister Amit Shah scolding his son Jay Shah during an aarti at Ahmedabad’s Jagannath Temple has caught the attention of social media users. The incident took place on the second day of Shah’s three-day visit to Gujarat.

In the video, Amit Shah, while performing the aarti, brings the flame near Jay Shah’s son. Concerned for his baby’s safety, Jay attempts to shield him from the flames. Amit Shah, noticing his concern, jokingly remarked, "Kassu nai thay, tare kai novo navay no chokro che" (Nothing will happen; do you have a new and unique son?). His playful comment left VIPs and attendees chuckling, while Jay Shah appeared momentarily startled.

Amit Shah, along with his family, visited the Jagannath Temple as part of his Uttarayan celebrations in Ahmedabad. During the visit, they performed rituals including cow worship. In another lighthearted moment, Amit Shah repeated his comment about Jay Shah’s son, adding to the humorous atmosphere.

Amit Shah's Gujarat tour also included the inauguration of several developmental projects, such as the Ghatlodia Police Station, a modern police housing project, a state-of-the-art auditorium in Kalol, and a Railway Underbridge in Kalol.

Gurugram (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday joined the 'Sadbhav Yatra' of Haryana Congress leader Brijendra Singh here.

Gandhi, who is the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, reached Gurugram in the evening and joined the yatra. He also walked some distance with Brijendra, state Congress chief Rao Narender Singh and other leaders.

Huge crowds had turned up for the occasion.

Later, Gandhi proceeded to the venue where he addressed a public gathering.

Leader of Opposition in Haryana Bhupinder Singh Hooda and other Congress leaders, including Randeep Singh Surjewala, B K Hariprasad, state Congress chief Rao Narender Singh, were also present.

Brijendra Singh had on Thursday said it is a matter of joy for them that Gandhi was joining the 'Sadbhav Yatra' in Gurugram-Badshahpur, "thereby strengthening the Indian National Congress' campaign for brotherhood and harmony".

The 'Sadbhav Yatra' began from Danoda village at Narwana in Jind on October 5, 2025, and has covered 85 of the 90 assembly segments in the state.

The foot march was started by Brijendra Singh, son of Congress veteran Birender Singh, to highlight several national and regional issues.

State Congress chief Rao Narender Singh had asked all party leaders to take part in Friday's event.

Days before his yatra began in October, Brijendra Singh, who narrowly lost the 2024 assembly polls from Jind's Uchana Kalan, accused the ruling BJP of playing "divisive politics" and said that "sadbhav" (harmony) has come under stress in the last decade.

Brijendra Singh was a sitting MP from Hisar for the BJP when he resigned ahead of the 2024 general election and switched over to the Congress. He also alleged that the saffron party creates a wedge in society to achieve its political purpose.

The 'padyatra' has so far covered 85 assembly constituencies in Haryana, traversing more than 2,700 kilometres.

Addressing the public gathering, Brijendra Singh said the yatra is inspired by Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, where he took the party's vision and values directly to the people of the country.

Singh said the yatra has highlighted issues like "Vote Chori" (vote theft), unemployment, poor law and order situation, agrarian distress, and issues related to government employees, labourers and traders.

"Sadbhav (harmony) and bhaichara (brotherhood), which the BJP is attempting to weaken, are the messages of this yatra," he said, adding that its slogan is "Congress ka haath bhaichara ka saath".

"This yatra is a natural extension of the Bharat Jodo Yatra," Brijendra Singh said.
