'Congress Hates Sikhs, 'Yuvraj' Rahul Gandhi Called Ravneet Bittu 'Gaddar' Because He Is Sikh': PM Modi In Rajya Sabha

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi while addressing the Rajya Sabha on Thursday. Accusing the Congress of hating Sikhs, PM Modi claimed that 'yuvraj' Rahul Gandhi called BJP MP Ravneet Singh Bittu a “gaddar” because he is Sikh.

“Yesterday, a member of this Parliament was called a traitor…Many people have left Congress, the party has been split several times. But Rahul did not term anyone else a traitor. Our honorable MP was called a traitor because he is a Sikh. It was an insult of Sikhs…and a display of the deep hatred against the Sikhs that is imbibed within the Congress,” the Prime Minister said, adding that it is very unfortunate that Bittu was called a “gaddar” just for changing his political ideologies.

The Prime Minister noted that Rahul Gandhi insulted a man whose family was martyred for the country.

On Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi called Ravneet Bittu as a "traitor" as he passed by the protesting Congress MPs on the premises of the Parliament.

Rahul said, "Here is a traitor walking right by. Look at the face." The Congress leader then offered to shake hands with Bittu, saying, “Hello, brother, my traitor friend. Don't worry, you will come back (to Congress).” The latter refused to shake hands with Rahul and called him "Desh ke dushman (enemy of the state)".

 Notably, Bittu left Congress and switched to BJP in 2024.
