Many BJP leaders, including MoS Railway Ravneet Singh Bittu have spoken against Rahul Gandhi for his comments made in US.

“He (Rahul Gandhi) does not love his country much because he goes abroad and says everything in a wrong way. The people who are most wanted, seperatists, 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, roads, they are in support of Rahul Gandhi. If there should be an award to catch the number one terrorist and the biggest enemy of the country, it should be on Rahul Gandhi,” Bittu said while speaking to media in Bhagalpur.

Rahul Gandhi stirs controversy

Bittu said that even if a single Sikh says that he cannot wear turban or kada, he will leave the BJP. “At the border, there are Sikhs; they protect the nation. Attempts have been made to sabotage them,” the Minister had said.

While addressing a gathering of Indian Americans, Rahul Gandhi had accused the RSS of considering some religions, languages, and communities of being “inferior” to others and said the fight in India is about this and not about politics.

“First of all, you have to understand what the fight is about. The fight is not about politics. That is superficial,” Rahul Gandhi said as he asked one of the Sikh attendees in the front rows to give his name. What is your name, brother with the turban?”

“The fight is about whether a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear his turban in India or a kada in India. Or he, as 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,” Rahul Gandhi, who was on a four-day visit to the US had said.
