A political storm erupted in New Delhi after Rahul Gandhi’s ‘gaddar dost’ label for BJP’s Ravneet Singh Bittu prompted BJP heavyweights to accuse Congress of ingrained Sikh animosity. Spearheading the rebuttal, Babu Ram Nishad branded the remark as odious, arguing it unveils the party’s deep prejudice.
‘Repeated instances show Congress’s contempt for Sikhs—this must be called out,’ Nishad declared, emphasizing that no community should endure such vilification in modern India.
Dr. K. Laxman drew parallels to historical grievances, including the riots, to illustrate a pattern. ‘Such statements are antithetical to democratic values, and the public knows Congress’s exploitative game,’ he remarked, predicting rejection by informed voters.
Amid this, Brijlal targeted Congress’s role in Lok Sabha disruptions, deeming it a INDIA bloc stratagem to silence issue-based debates. ‘Rajya Sabha progressed well, but the lower house suffers from their antics, including deploying women MPs—purely deplorable,’ he said, advocating for atonement.
He also flagged the film ‘Ghooskhore Pandit’ for potentially fueling caste discord, seeking a ban on its title. Minister BL Verma reinforced that Gandhi’s words shame all Sikhs, spotlighting his penchant for unbecoming rhetoric. ‘Congress’s hatred is now crystal clear,’ Verma concluded.
This orchestrated BJP response weaves personal, historical, and procedural threads into a potent critique, challenging Congress’s moral standing. With Parliament’s functionality at stake and cultural flashpoints emerging, the confrontation highlights enduring fault lines in Indian politics, where community sentiments and opposition strategies collide.
