Washington DC (USA), September 17 (ANI): Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri who is in Washington DC for discussions with United States Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm on September 16 hit out at Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. The Union Minister said he sees a more sinister attempt to form a divisive narrative in the comments of the LoP. "I have worn a turban 62 years of my life. I've worn a kada even longer. I think most children in our families when they're born, the first occasion, you know, they put a kada around. But, I think the more disturbing trend is, you know, to say that this is a statement which was made out of ignorance, he doesn't know what he's talking about. I think that's wrong. I think there is a more systematic sinister, and I'm using this word carefully, attempt to foment a divisive narrative, to create a sense of insecurity and freedom. Now, my brothers and sisters who came to the United States to work here many years ago. Some of them have active contacts with their home country. Some of them just go through social media or whatever they read. Now, if you foment a narrative like this that Sikhs are finding it difficult or insecure to wear turban, some of them may actually believe it, which is not the case," Hardeep Puri said.
