"Dangerous Narrative...": Minister Slams Rahul Gandhi's Comment On Sikhs | Read

Union Minister Hardeep Puri has slammed Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over comments in the United States, including criticism of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and seeing the political battle with the BJP as an ideological divide over questions like "is a Sikh allowed to wear a turban (or) kada..."

In a lengthy attack Mr Puri accused Mr Gandhi of spreading a "dangerous narrative" among diaspora in the US, and for criticising the government while abroad and holding the Leader of the Opposition post.

"I think there is something far more sinister... the people in front of him (at an event in the US where Mr Gandhi was speaking) were from my community. They eke out a living in the US, and don't have a strong connection with the country. And to them Rahulji is spreading this false narrative..." Mr Puri said.
