Gandhi family burnt Punjab, alleges Ravneet Singh Bittu

BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu on Thursday said that he does not hold any regret and won't apologise for calling Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi a "number 1 terrorist". He added that the Gandhi family burnt Punjab and consequently the state lost generations of lives. "Why should I regret it? I express my pain as a Sikh. I am a minister later, a Sikh first. If Gurpatwant Singh Pannun endorses it (Rahul Gandhi's statement) what will you say?" said Bittu.When asked if he would apologise for his statement, Ravneet Singh Bittu said,"Kharge sahab should apologise. He should clarify if the Congress party agrees with Rahul Gandhi. You need to ask Sikhs. Bring any Sikh from the Congress party who is not allowed to carry a turban, wear kada and visit Gurudwara." He added that such statements would create a communal divide in the country. "They want to radicalise Sikhs. They are pained when we point out Rahul Gandhi. Who will answer on what he spoke against Sikhs? We have worn the brunt in the past and they enjoy themselves sitting in Delhi and visiting abroad."

Meanwhile, an FIR has been registered against Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu for his alleged remarks against Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over the statements the latter made in the US regarding Sikhs, police said on Thursday.The Minister of State for Railways had said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is not an Indian and if there should be an award to catch the number one terrorist, it should be on the Congress leader. The case was filed at High Grounds police station, Bengaluru based on a complaint by one of the officer-bearers of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee. The BJP leader attacked the Lok Sabha LoP for his remarks on Sikhs during his US visit and said that the Leader of Opposition does not love his country. During his recent US visit, Rahul Gandhi triggered a political lash after he commented on the condition of the Sikh community in India.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.
