Meanwhile, Congress workers staged a protest in Chandigarh on Tuesday against the Union Minister over his recent statements about Gandhi. Harmohinder Singh Lucky, the state president of Chandigarh Congress, condemned Bittu's remarks, saying they were unacceptable. "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," Lucky told ANI during the protest.
Bittu had criticised Rahul Gandhi for his comments made during a visit to the USA, saying, "Rahul Gandhi is not an Indian; he has spent most of his time outside. He doesn't 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 criticised 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."
Bittu's remarks followed Rahul Gandhi's comments during his USA visit, where he highlighted issues related to the rights of Sikhs in India, saying, "The fight is about whether 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."(ANI)
