The controversy over Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s statement about Sikhs in India is escalating. After Rahul Gandhi alleged that Sikhs in India do not have religious freedom, BJP Sikh leaders staged a protest in Delhi. Meanwhile, Congress has shared a video of BJP leader and former MLA Tarvinder Singh Marwah, in which he threatens Rahul Gandhi with the same fate as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Congress Demands Action
The Congress party shared the video on its ‘X’ handle. They have called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action regarding this issue. Congress stated, “During the protest today, Delhi BJP leader and former MLA Tarvinder Singh Marwah said, ‘Rahul Gandhi, you better back off, otherwise, you will face the same fate as your grandmother in the future.’ This BJP leader is openly threatening the Leader of the Opposition. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, you cannot remain silent about this leader’s threat. This is a very serious matter. This is a product of your party’s hate factory. Action must be taken.”
What was Rahul Gandhi’s Statement?
It is worth noting that during his visit to the United States, Rahul Gandhi had said, “There is concern among the Sikh community in India about whether they will be allowed to wear turbans and kara (bracelets). Will they be able to go to Gurdwaras? This concern is not only for Sikhs but for people of all religions.”
It is also noted that Tarvinder Singh Marwah was with Congress until two years ago. In July 2022, he left Congress and joined the BJP. (Source: India TV)
