Rahul Gandhi Vs Ravneet Bittu: “Traitor” Remark Sparks Sikh Row Outside Parliament

A heated exchange outside Parliament has triggered a political storm. Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi called Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu a “traitor” as he greeted suspended opposition MPs at Makar Dwar. Bittu hit back by branding the opposition “anti-national” and later accused the Congress of being anti-Sikh. The remarks drew strong reactions from Sikh leaders in the BJP, who urged action against Rahul Gandhi. Congress rejected the charges, but the episode has reopened old political wounds linked to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. What began as a personal jibe has now escalated into a wider controversy over history, identity and politics.
