“The aim of this yatra is to clear the misgivings that the RSS is against some people. We also want to convey the real history to people who have been fed a distorted version so far,” Veer Kapoor, one of the participants, said.

He said a movie ‘Shatak’ has been made to mark 100 years of the RSS and the work done by the organisation.

The movie is scheduled to be released on February 19.
