BJP Leader Ravneet Singh Bittu Calls Rahul Gandhi ‘Number 1 Terrorist’
New Delhi, India – BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu has stated that he does not regret and will not apologize for calling Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, a ‘number 1 terrorist.’ Bittu accused the Gandhi family of causing significant harm to Punjab, resulting in the loss of generations of lives.
Bittu said, ‘Why should I regret it? We in Punjab have lost our generations. The Gandhi family burnt Punjab…I express my pain as a Sikh. I am a minister later, a Sikh first. If Gurpatwant Singh Pannun endorses it (Rahul Gandhi’s statement) what will you say?’
When asked if he would apologize, Bittu responded, ‘Kharge sahab should apologize. He should clarify if the Congress party agrees with Rahul Gandhi. You need to ask Sikhs. Bring any Sikh from the Congress party who is not allowed to carry a turban, wear kada, and visit Gurudwara.’
Bittu added that such statements could create a communal divide in the country. ‘They want to radicalize Sikhs. They are pained when we point out Rahul Gandhi. Who will answer on what he spoke against Sikhs? We have worn the brunt in the past and they enjoy themselves sitting in Delhi and visiting abroad.’
Rahul Gandhi had triggered a political controversy with his comments on the condition of the Sikh community in India. He stated that the fight in India as a Sikh was about whether he would be allowed to wear a turban or kada, or visit a Gurudwara. Following this, Khalistani separatist leader Pannun supported Gandhi’s statement, calling it a ‘bold and pioneering statement grounded in the factual history of Sikhs since 1947’ and aligning it with the stance of Sikhs For Justice on Punjab’s Independence Referendum to establish Khalistan.
Pannun, declared a terrorist in India by the Ministry of Home Affairs, is the co-founder of the banned outfit SFJ. In response, Bittu called Rahul Gandhi a ‘number 1 terrorist,’ accusing him of being unpatriotic and supported by separatists and those involved in violent activities.
