Congress workers protest against union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu for his remarks on Rahul Gandhi

Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], September 17 : Congress workers held a protest in Chandigarh on Tuesday against Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu over his recent statements on Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi.
The state president of Chandigarh Congress, Harmohinder Singh Lucky, condemned the remarks of the minister, saying that such below-the-belt remarks are strictly opposed by the party. "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," he told ANI during the protest.
The Union minister had slammed Rahul Gandhi for his remarks made during his USA visit, saying that if the Congress leader is not an Indian and if there should be an award to catch the number one terrorist, it should be on Rahul Gandhi.
"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," Bittu said.
Earlier, Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit slammed the Union Minister over his controversial remarks and said that his political career in the Congress was also a mess.
"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," Dixit said.
Punjab Congress chief and Lok Sabha MP Amarinder Singh Raja Warring had also said that the minister was trying to please his masters.
"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 Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring said.
The controversial remarks by the minister came after Rahul Gandhi, during his visit to the USA, said that the fight is about whether a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear a turban in India and would be able to visit a Gurdwara.
"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," he had said.
