Accusing the BJP of spreading lies about his recent remarks in the US, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday asked Sikhs whether there was anything wrong in what he had said and if India shouldn't be a country where every Indian could practise their religion without fear. The former Congress chief said the BJP was desperate to silence him because they could not stand the truth. "The BJP has been spreading lies about my remarks in America.
I want to ask every Sikh brother and sister in India and abroad -- is there anything wrong in what I have said? Shouldn't India be a country where every Sikh -- and every Indian -- can freely practise their religion without fear?" Gandhi said in a post on X. "As usual, the BJP is resorting to lies. They are desperate to silence me because they cannot stand the truth.
But I will always speak up for the values that define India: our unity in diversity, equality, and love," he said. Gandhi also shared a short clip of his remarks in the US that shows him referring to a Sikh man. His remarks came after the BJP on Saturday cited a joint statement of several Sikh groups to ask him to withdraw his statement, which it alleged had created an atmosphere of fear in the country.

Addressing a gathering of Indian-Americans in Herndon, a Virginia suburb of Washington DC, Gandhi had said, "First of all, you have to understand what the fight is about. The fight is not about politics.
That is superficial." Gandhi asked one of the Sikh attendees in the front rows to give his name. "What is your name, brother with the turban?" he had asked.

Or he, as a Sikh, is going to be able to go to a gurdwara. That's what the fight is about.
And not just for him, for all religions," the Congress leader had said. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel ).
