Union Minister Defends Remarks Against Rahul Gandhi Amid Protests

Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu defended his remarks against Rahul Gandhi, suggesting Congress should protest against Gandhi. This follows Gandhi's recent statements in the U.S. about religious reservations in India. Congress members protested against Bittu, who emphasized the issue transcends political parties and concerns Punjab and Sikhs.

Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu on Monday stood firm on his remarks against Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi, urging the Congress party to protest against Gandhi instead. This response comes after Gandhi's statements in the United States regarding reservations in India.

Bittu highlighted that Gandhi frequently visits the Gurudwara Darbar Sahib, questioning who stops him from doing so and emphasizing that the issue surpasses party politics. Earlier, Congress workers protested Bittu's remarks at the CBI gate and were subsequently detained by police.

Bittu argued that the matter is not about Congress or BJP, but concerns Punjab and Sikhs. He responded to Gandhi's claims that the fight in India revolves around religious practices for Sikhs and other religions, rejecting any notion of restriction within the community.
