The protesters have demanded an apology from Rahul
Meanwhile, protesters from the Sikh community raised slogans against Gandhi and demanded his apology for allegedly “insulting” Sikhs, blaming the Congress for the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in the country. The protesters alleged that Rahul’s statement was baseless. He has been making unrestrained statements in America that the Sikh community in India is not safe. When Indira Gandhi did Operation Blue Star and then in 1984 during Rajiv Gandhi’s time more than 3000 Sikhs were massacred.
The protesters climbed the barricades
Women were also included in the protestors. Shouting slogans and carrying placards, these people tried to march from Vigyan Bhavan to Rahul Gandhi’s residence at 10 Janpath, but were stopped by the police. People climbed the barricade during the demonstration.
What did Rahul Gandhi say?
In fact, last Monday, while addressing Indians during an event in Washington DC, America, he said that the battle in India is for a Sikh to wear a turban and go to a gurudwara. The battle over whether Sikhs should be allowed to wear turbans or kadas in India is over. Can he go to the Gurdwara as a Sikh? Rahul said this is not only for him but for all religions. He also accused the RSS of treating some religions, languages and communities as inferior to others.
