Dangerous Narrative…”: Minister Slams Rahul Gandhi’s Comment On Sikhs

New Delhi: 

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 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.

“He said members of the Sikh community have difficulty in wearing a turban or kada… where is he getting this information from? I have worn a turban for over 60 years… word a kada for longer… and never come across anyone who expressed any sense of anxiety,” he told NDTV.
