"Alarmed'' by media reports of the yatras being planned across the State every weekend with Mr. Modi touring all the districts along with the yatra, Ms. Gandhi drew Mr. Vajpayee's attention to his ``resolve to maintain peace and harmony in our society.'' ``I hope that you will take the constructive step of dissuading the Gujarat Chief Minister from undertaking the Gaurav Rath Yatra,'' she said. Reminding Mr. Vajpayee of the "immense damage'' the recent "communal violence'' in Gujarat had done to the social fabric, Ms. Gandhi said that the organisations held responsible for the violence by agencies like the National Human Rights Commission and the National Minorities Commission "would receive undue encouragement from this yatra.'' Also, it would heighten the sense of insecurity among the minorities. Ms. Gandhi underlined the need to take steps that would assuage the feelings of all the communities and strengthen the forces of tolerance, brotherhood and amity. And the primary responsibility of the State Government was to provide the victims all necessary relief and rehabilitate them in a non-partisan manner.
