Manjinder Singh Sirsa Slams Rahul Gandhi: 'We Are Sardars, Not Gaddars' Over Traitor Remark

On this India Today special report, the focus is on the escalating political confrontation between the BJP and Congress following a heated exchange at Parliament's Makar Dwar. BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa has strongly condemned Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi for allegedly calling Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu a 'traitor friend'. Sirsa stated, 'We are Sardars, not Gaddars,' while accusing Gandhi of insulting the entire Sikh community. The transcript details how the incident unfolded when Gandhi passed by protesting MPs, leading to a sharp retort from Bittu who labelled Gandhi's supporters as 'Desh Ke Dushman'. The BJP is now planning a major offensive, with senior leaders like Hardeep Singh Puri expected to join the condemnation. The programme explores the shift in narrative as the BJP frames Gandhi's remarks as an attack on Sikh identity, highlighting the deep-seated animosity between the two political factions within the community.
