Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the Congress for having an “anti-Sikh mindset” after Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, called BJP MP Ravneet Singh Bittu a “traitor” outside the Parliament on Wednesday.
“Yesterday, the Prince of Congress called an MP a ‘traitor’. Their arrogance has reached new heights. So many people have left Congress. The Congress has been divided several times, several leaders have gone to other parties. They didn’t call them traitors. However, they called him (Bittu) a traitor because he was a Sikh,” Modi said in Rajya Sabha during his reply to the motion of thanks to the President’s address.
“This was an insult to all Sikhs. It was an expression of deep hatred of Congress for the Sikh community. They could have apologised in this House for the incident, but due to their hatred for Sikhs, they did not. He was an MP whose family made sacrifices for the nation. Just because he changed his political views, he became a ‘gaddar’ (traitor)?” he added.

PM Modi further underscored the significance of calling someone a “traitor”, saying, “If someone calls my citizens traitors, how will the nation tolerate this? Just because he is a Sikh, is he a traitor? These people will bring ruin to Congress.”
