In a blistering attack, BJP stalwarts have accused Rahul Gandhi of revealing Congress’s anti-Sikh prejudice through his ‘gaddar dost’ (traitor friend) barb at fellow MP Ravneet Singh Bittu. The remark, made amid heated exchanges, drew immediate backlash from BJP’s Babu Ram Nishad, who labeled it a shameful display of communal hatred.
‘Such language betrays Congress’s disdain for Sikhs, evident time and again,’ Nishad remarked, insisting that no democratic society can condone insults to any community. He urged citizens to see beyond the rhetoric and recognize the party’s exploitative history.
Dr. K. Laxman escalated the criticism, tying the comment to infamous events like the 1984 riots. ‘Rahul’s words are outright wrong and reflective of Congress’s legacy of bigotry,’ he stated. Laxman argued that while Congress has long used communities as vote banks, today’s vigilant public demands better.
Parliamentary chaos added fuel to the fire, as Brijlal condemned Congress’s tactics in disrupting Lok Sabha. ‘They’re sabotaging vital debates on people’s issues through the INDIA bloc’s conspiracy,’ he charged, noting smooth proceedings in Rajya Sabha by contrast. He specifically criticized the use of female MPs in these antics, calling for remorse and accountability.
Brijlal also voiced concerns over the upcoming film ‘Ghooskhore Pandit,’ arguing its provocative title risks spreading casteism. ‘We must halt such divisive content,’ he demanded.
Echoing these sentiments, Minister BL Verma declared the slur not just personal but a broader affront to Sikhs. ‘Gandhi’s pattern of crude remarks lays bare Congress’s animosity,’ Verma observed. The multi-pronged BJP offensive underscores a deepening rift, with accusations flying over hate speech, parliamentary hooliganism, and cultural insensitivity. As the opposition digs in, the narrative of Congress’s community relations faces renewed scrutiny in India’s polarized political landscape.
