Patna Women's College Principal Sister Doris D' Souza also felicitated Rahul Gandhi on the occasion.

Later at a press confernec Rahul Gandhi asserted that India is for all Indians and people have a right to go anywhere.

"I am really not interested in what Bal Thackeray or Raj Thackeray have to say. Frankly, I am interested in one concept that India belongs to Indians and every part of India belongs to every Indian", he said.

"People have a right to go anywhere. I am not going to remain silent and stop people of UP and Bihar from going to Maharashtra," he added.
