Congress Workers Protest Against Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu in Chandigarh

On Tuesday, Congress workers gathered in Chandigarh to protest against Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu for his recent comments about Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Harmohinder Singh Lucky, the state president of Chandigarh Congress, strongly condemned Bittu’s remarks, describing them as below-the-belt and unacceptable.

Lucky stated, “The remarks made by Minister Ravneet Bittu on the orders of the BJP and Modi are quite below the belt. We strongly oppose those remarks. He has forgotten what Rahul Gandhi has done for him. Wherever he has reached in politics, he has only reached that position because of Rahul Gandhi and Congress. Congress had decided to support the youth, and because of that, he had progressed in politics.”

Bittu had criticized Rahul Gandhi for his statements made during his visit to the USA, suggesting that Gandhi is not truly Indian and labeling him as the country’s number one terrorist. Bittu said, “Rahul Gandhi is not an Indian. He has spent most of his time outside. He does not love his country much because he goes abroad and says everything in the wrong way. The people who are most wanted, separatists, and experts in making bombs, guns, and shells, have appreciated what Rahul Gandhi has said. The enemies of the country who try to blow up planes, trains, and roads, are in support of Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi is the country’s number 1 terrorist. The biggest enemy of the country whom the agencies should catch is Rahul Gandhi today.”

Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit also criticized Bittu, saying, “We can only pity such people. His political career in Congress was also a mess. He used to praise Rahul Gandhi, and now, after resigning from Congress and joining the BJP, he is showing his loyalty to the BJP party.”

Punjab Congress chief and Lok Sabha MP Amarinder Singh Raja Warring added, “He is saying anything to please his masters. This public knows that Rahul Gandhi’s father was martyred, and his body was torn to pieces, you call him a terrorist.”

The controversy began after Rahul Gandhi, during his visit to the USA, commented on the rights of Sikhs in India, stating, “First of all, you have to understand what the fight is about. The fight is not about politics. It is superficial. What is your name? The fight is about whether…he as a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear his turban in India. Or he as a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear a kada in India. Or a Sikh is going to be able to go to Gurdwara. That’s what the fight is about and not just for him, for all religions.”
