MP Bittu slams AAP over comments by MLA Rituraj
BJP MP Ravneet Singh Bittu slammed AAP and party convener Arvind Kejriwal over the remarks made by MLA Rituraj Jha against Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday.
“Our gurus have fought the Mughals, and today AAP is linking the Sikh community with the Rohingyas and Bangladeshis. There seems to be a conspiracy of vote bank politics. This is an unacceptable and intentional insult to Sikhs and Punjabis. Wherever they (AAP) go, people from the community will protest, question them and we will personally as well question such a vile mentality,” Bittu told media.
The BJP, AAP sparred over comments made by latter’s MLA Rituraj Jha in a TV debate show. The former accused the leader of “insulting” the Sikh community by issuing a controversial statement against Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. The saffron party also demanded an apology from him.
Meanwhile, AAP, in a statement, said that it was “baffling” that BJP leaders were talking about Sikhs after spending years abusing them, calling them terrorists.
“A Sikh farmer has been on hunger strike against the BJP since November, but they couldn’t make time to meet him once?” it added.
The party also reiterated its remark that the Minister had announced in 2022 to give refuge to Rohingyas in Delhi.
