Rahul Gandhi and Ravneet Singh Bittu Exchange Heated Remarks Outside Parliament

A heated exchange occurred outside Parliament between Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu, a former Congress member who joined the BJP in 2024. Gandhi called Bittu a "traitor friend," referencing his party switch, while Bittu retorted by calling Gandhi "desh ke dushman" (enemy of the nation) and refused a handshake. The incident sparked political controversy, with BJP leaders condemning Gandhi's remarks as offensive to the Sikh community, while Punjab Congress leaders supported Gandhi's criticism of Bittu's defection. The confrontation unfolded amid protests by suspended Opposition MPs during the Budget Session.
