Delhi police arrest PYC president Mohit Mohindra and scores of youth congress workers
NEW DELHI: Large number of Youth Congress workers led by Punjab Youth Congress president Mohit Mohindra on Friday gheraoed the house of Union Minister of state Ravneet Singh Bittu in Delhi and demanded his resignation for denigrating the image of Punjab and targeting LoP Rahul Gandhi to appease BJP.
While Delhi police detained PYC president and score of other Youth Congress workers, the agitation youth of Punjab raised slogans against Ravneet Bittu and PM Narender Modi.
Mohit Mohindra said that it was shameful that Ravneet Bittu became a tool in the hands of BJP and he labeled Rahul Gandhi a terrorist. He said that it was Rahul Gandhi who gave him the power in politics and groomed him to be able to tie his turban. He asked Bittu, had he spent 25 years with a terrorist while he enjoyed power and perks in the Congress party.
Mohindra said that people of Punjab were angry with the statement of Bittu and would retaliate in befitting manner. He told Bittu to stop mudslinging against the Congress party leader. He also challenged the other turncoat BJP leaders who joined hands with communal forces and toeing the line of BJP. He told such leaders to come clean on Bittu's allegations against Rahul Gandhi. He said that BJP was trying to malign the Sikh community and working against the interests of minority communities.
He said that Bittu had committed a political blunder by making contemptible remarks against Rahul Gandhi who spoke for the Sikh community and minority communities. He said that Rahul Gandhi had nailed BJP for its pseudo secularism and anti-minority mindset during a interaction with diaspora in USA. "Rahul Gandhi had only unmasked the real face of BJP and PM Narender Modi before the world", he added.
Mohindra said that Bittu would repent his comments against Rahul Gandhi throughout of his political career. Bittu who also belonged to Sikh minority community was till few months back on the front foot to attack BJP for its anti-Punjab and anti-minority policies. He had put to shame the legacy of his grandfather, a Congress stalwart, the former CM Late Sardar Beant Singh who fought against communal forces. Bittu was three time Congress MP but he stabbed in the back of his mother party and betrayed the people of Punjab.
Mohindra said Sikh leaders in Punjab and elsewhere in the world hailed Rahul Gandhi for speaking for them. He said that even an apology by Bittu for his hateful utterances would not absolve him for his sins. Bittu has lost his credibility in Punjab and BJP will also throw him out after using him. Bittu probed to be a shallow man and lost all his political legacy by toeing anti-Punjab line of BJP, Mohindra added.
