'Attempt to rub salt in wounded Sikh community': BJP's Ravi Shankar slams RaGa’s Nov 1 rally call

BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad says, "Rahul Gandhi is, in a very calculated manner, attempting to rub salt into the wounded sentiments of the Sikh community by insisting on holding his rally on the 1st of November. He refuses to reschedule it. We condemn this in the strongest possible terms. It is essential to highlight—and remember—the steps taken by the Modi government to honor the sentiments of the Sikh community. Consider the Kartarpur Sahib corridor, or the recognition of the martyrdom of Guru Gobind Singh’s sons—who were walled up alive... Why November 1st, Mr. Rahul Gandhi? What is the reason behind your stubborn resolve to hold your rally specifically on November 1st? What message are you trying to convey? The message is quite clear: "We don't care." Recall a comment made by one of his associates, Sam Pitroda— he famously asked, "Why keep bringing up '84? What happened, happened."
