Raja Warring on Rahul Gandhi's Sikh Remark Controversy Latest News: In a show of support for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Punjab Congress President Amrinder Singh Raja Warring has come forward to defend Gandhi's recent remarks about Sikhs, which have sparked controversy. Warring clarified that Rahul Gandhi's statement, made during an event in the United States, was misunderstood and taken out of context.
According to Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, Gandhi was referring to the growing fear and division among the people in India due to increasing polarization based on caste and religion. He highlighted that Rahul Gandhi intended to point out the alarming rise in religious and social tensions in the country, especially in the context of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. "In India, we all witnessed how religion was used for political gains during the elections, leading to further divisions among communities," Warring said.
He also emphasized Rahul Gandhi's deep respect for Sikhism, citing instances where Gandhi has demonstrated his devotion and admiration for the faith. "How can someone like Rahul Gandhi, who goes to the Golden Temple for devotional sewa and has spoken about Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji in India's Parliament, be against Sikhs?" Warring asked.
Notably, the controversy began when Rahul Gandhi, while speaking in Herndon, Virginia, remarked, "The fight in India is about whether a Sikh is going to be allowed to wear a turban, whether a Sikh will be allowed to wear a kada or go to the Gurudwara. That’s what the fight is about, and it’s not just for Sikhs, but for all religions." His comments were intended to highlight the ongoing struggle for religious freedom in the country but have since been met with criticism from certain quarters.
