Sikh Prakoshth protests outside Rahul Gandhi's residence over his remarks on Sikh community

New Delhi [India], September 11 (ANI): Sikh Prakoshth of the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) stage protest outside the residence of Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday over his remarks on the Sikh community made during the US visit.
BJP leader RP demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi, saying that the LoP has defamed India on foreign land. "Rahul Gandhi should apologise. He used the foreign land to defame India and gave a statement about Sikhs: Sikhs are not allowed to wear turban in India, they can't wear a kada, can't go to Gurudwara. Has Rahul Gandhi forgotten the rule of his father? When in Delhi itself, many Sikhs were killed," the BJP leader said.
Earlier, Vineet Jindal, a practicing lawyer at the Supreme Court, also filed a complaint with Home Minister Amit Shah, NIA Director General, and Delhi Police Commissioner against the Congress leader.
The statement of Rahul Gandhi is not right, and there have been no incidents reported where any Sikh is being stopped from visiting a Gurdwara or to wear the turbans, but Rahul Gandhi, for his political benefit, is trying to instigate the minorities. Earlier also, we witnessed how Rahul Gandhi defameed his own country instead of attacking the central government," Jindal said in a self-made video on Wednesday.
He further said that he had filed a formal complaint against Rahul Gandhi, who is currently on a US tour.
"I have complained to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, NIA, and Delhi Police Commissioner. In which I have urged all of them to register the case for making false and inciteful statements. I have also urged them to cancel Rahul Gandhi's passport. I believe that soon action will be taken on my complaint," he added.
The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP from Raebareli, Rahul Gandhi, during his interaction with the Indian diaspora in the US said that the fight is about whether a Sikh, is going to be allowed to wear a turban in India and would be able to visit a Gurdwara.
"First of all, you have to understand what the fight is about. Fight is not about politics. It is superficial. What is your name? The fight is about whether he, as a Sikh, is going to be allowed to wear his turban in India. Or he as a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear a kada in India. Or a Sikh is going to be able to go to Gurdwara. That's what the fight is about, and not just for him, for all religions," he said. (ANI)
