New Delhi [India], October 2 : A Sikh leader's delegation on Wednesday met Union Minister JP Nadda and thanked him for always working to resolve their issues.
Chairman of the National Commission for Minorities, Iqbal Singh Lalpura, said that whenever there is a BJP government at the Centre, it has always worked for them.
"We had come to thank him for always working to resolve any issues faced by Sikhs. I also presented my book to him. The works done by Modi ji, Amit Shah ji, and Nadda ji have been a balm on our wounds. Whenever there has been a BJP government in Centre, it has always worked for the welfare of Sikhs," Iqbal Singh told ANI.
Harmeet Singh Kalka, President, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee said, "I extend my heartfelt thanks to Shri J.P. Nadda Ji (National President, BJP) for graciously inviting me, along with other esteemed Sikh leaders from Delhi, to his residence for an evening of High Tea. It was a wonderful opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and strengthen our shared vision."
BJP leader Manjinder Sirsa said, "My sincere gratitude to Sh JP Nadda, Hon'ble National President of BJP, for inviting us all, the Sikh leaders from Delhi, to a wonderful evening of High Tea at his residence. We had enriching discussions that further strengthened our collective vision for the future. Deeply grateful for his humility and outreach approach."
Recently, a war of words erupted between Congress and BJP leaders over Rahul Gandhi's remarks in the USA. He had said that that fight in India as a Sikh was about whether he would be allowed to wear a turban or kada, or allowed to go to a Gurudwara.
Union Minister and BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu termed Rahul Gandhi as "country's number 1 terrorist," drawing strong condemnation from Congress.
However, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi defended his remarks pertaining to Sikhs and other sections of Indian society, made during his visit to the United States, and accused the BJP of resorting to lies and making desperate attempts to silence him.
