New Delhi [India], September 18 : Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu condemned the recent protests by the Indian Youth Congress in response to his statements, drawing parallels to the 1984 Sikh riots.
The Former INC leader who quit the Congress party ahead of the general elections in 2024, accused the the party of resorting to "old tactics"
"Congress is back to its old tricks. Anyone who exposes the Gandhi family faces threats of arson and violence, reminiscent of the 1984 Sikh riots. Is this what they call their 'mohabbat ki dukan'?" Ravneet Singh Bittu wrote in a post on X, reacting to the recent outrage by the Congress leaders over his comments on Rahul Gandhi.
Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu stoked a controversy by calling Leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi a "number 1 terrorist".
"Rahul Gandhi is not Indian; he has spent most of his time abroad. He does not love his country because he goes overseas and criticises India. His words have been praised by separatists and those involved in making bombs and weapons. Those who try to blow up planes, trains, and roads are supporting Rahul Gandhi. He is the country's number one terrorist and the biggest enemy whom the agencies should catch," Bittu had said.
Members of the Indian Youth Congress on Wednesday held massive protests in the national capital against Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu and other BJP leaders over their statements against Lok Sabha leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi.
The protesters shouted slogans, burned effigies, stood on barricades and protested against the BJP as the police tried to control the crowd.
Meanwhile, Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Ajay Maken on Wednesday approached a police station in the national capital to lodged a complaint against BJP leaders over threats to Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.Maken in his letter for registering an FIR at the Tughlak Road police station has named Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu, Delhi BJP leader Tarvinder Singh Marvah, Shiv Sena (Shinde) Sanjay Gaikwad, and Uttar Pradesh Minister Raghuraj Singh.
The complaint added that these statements are attempts to undermine Rahul Gandhi's safety and disrupt public peace, particularly in light of the ongoing elections in Jammu & Kashmir and Haryana.It said that the statements are part of a deliberate campaign to incite aggression and hatred against Gandhi and the Indian National Congress. The complaint also alleged that these leaders used inflammatory language to create unrest and obstruct Gandhi's ability to perform his duties as the Leader of the Opposition. Maken has requested that an FIR be registered against the named individuals under relevant sections for criminal intimidation and public mischief.
