'Congress hates Sikhs': PM Modi slams Rahul Gandhi's 'traitor' remark

The PM launched a sharp attack on the Congress and Rahul Gandhi, calling the “traitor” remark an insult to the Sikh community and a reflection of Congress’ “arrogance at its peak”.

Speaking during the debate in the Upper House, PM Modi referred to the incident involving the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, who called Ravneet Bittu a “traitor” outside Parliament after the latter quit the Congress and joined the BJP ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

“What happened yesterday — the ‘Yuvraj’ of Congress, who has a ‘shaatir dimaag’ called a member of this House a traitor. His arrogance is at its peak. He did not call others who left Congress traitors, but he said it to this MP because he is a Sikh. This is an insult to Sikhs, an insult to the Gurus. This shows the hatred Congress carries,” Modi said.
