Chandigarh, February 5
The abusive words used by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi against Union Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu have proved that the thinking of the Gandhi family and Congress is still the same as it was in 1984, filled with hatred, division and an anti-Punjab mindset. These allegations were made by Punjab BJP Working State President Ashwani Sharma through a tweet on social media.
Sharma said that the seeds of hatred sown by Congress in the country are still flourishing in the same manner today. “Using such language against a Sikh leader from Punjab and a Union Minister exposes the real mindset of Congress”, he said, while alleging that from the time of India’s independence till today, the politics of the Gandhi family has given Punjab only pain and wounds. “The partition of Punjab, the attack on Sri Akal Takht Sahib, the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 and now the insult of a Punjabi leader are clear examples of this”, asserted Sharma.
Sharma said that Punjabis and the Sikh community are not traitors but patriots, and from the time of India’s independence till today, they have always been at the forefront, making sacrifices on every front. He said that it was because of the sacrifices of Punjabis that the Gandhi family enjoyed power for years, but despite that, hateful language is still being used against Punjab and Punjabis. Sharma demanded that Rahul Gandhi should immediately apologize without any conditions. He said that if Congress wants to save its face before the public, it must immediately give up the politics of hatred and division.
