A lot more hugs may be in store for unwary Delhiites; the Delhi unit of the Congress party is planning to extend its “Free Hugs Campaign ““Our president set a great precedent by hugging the Prime Minister. The ‘ Free Hugs Campaign’ was first started in 2004 by a man named Juan Mann who began hugging people on a busy Sydney street. The Congress party’s Delhi unit, inspired by Rahul Gandhi, launched a ‘Free Hugs Campaign’ in the city to spread love. The movement saw thousands of men and women standing around trees, hugging them, holding each other’s hands. While most Delhiites are fine with hugging trees, a lot of them take exception to being hugged or being given uninvited hugs.
