'Only time Sikhs felt existential threat was when Rahul Gandhi’s family was in power': Hardeep Singh Puri



“First of all, you have to understand what the fight is about. The fight is not about politics. That is superficial,” Gandhi said as he asked one of the Sikh attendees in the front rows to give his name. What is your name, brother with the turban,” he asked.”The fight is about whether a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear his turban in India or a kada in India. Or he, as a Sikh, is going to be able to go to Gurdwara. That’s what the fight is about. And not just for him, for all religions,” said Gandhi, who is on a four-day visit to the US, which began Saturday.Hitting out at the Congress leader, Puri said Gandhi, of late, has been making statements on sensitive issues, which “involve our national identity, unity, the strength of our unity and diversity”.”I think he is trying to set a new kind of narrative which I think is a dangerous narrative,” he said.”I think this is far more sinister because Rahul Gandhi was trying to spread a false narrative while speaking in front of those, who belong to my community and are trying to eke out a living in the US with hard work and honesty. Because they do not have much connection with the country (India),” he added.
