Robert Vadra said on Saturday that the "excavation of mosques" becoming the focus of politics instead of development is wrong while people are reeling under inflation and farmers protesting

"I prayed for the well-being of my family and the country. I wish brotherhood prevails in the society, " he said

Vadra said he has been visiting different places of worship in the country as part of his "spiritual trips" and offered chaddar at the famous Haji Ali Dargah in Mumbai on Saturday

"Even as people are suffering because of the inflation and farmers are protesting, the focus is on the excavation of mosques, which is wrong. Communal issues will arise instead of development. It will create unnecessary unrest," he said

"We are a diverse nation and should try to be as secular as possible. There shouldn't be the politics of religion. Religion and politics should be separate," Vadra said, adding that he wanted to promote peace and harmony

Vadra said the Congress' future is good as the presence of Priyanka and Rahul (in Parliament) will strengthen the people's voice

"Priyanka will become a strong voice for women, issues facing the country will be raised," Vadra said

He said Wayanad would become a "super constituency" as it is being represented by Priyanka Gandhi
