**Bengaluru, India** – Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu remained defiant on Thursday after being booked for his controversial remarks against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The Minister of State for Railways had earlier labeled Gandhi “the number one terrorist” and accused him of not being a true Indian, drawing widespread condemnation.

The case was filed at a Bengaluru police station based on a complaint by Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee officials. This follows a similar complaint filed by the Tripura Pradesh Congress President against several NDA leaders, including Bittu, for their comments against Gandhi.

Bittu, grandson of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, dismissed the backlash, claiming he was “not at all concerned”. He doubled down on his accusations against Gandhi, reiterating his belief that the Congress leader does not love India and his comments had been welcomed by separatists and those who threaten the nation’s security.

Bittu’s comments stem from Gandhi’s recent remarks during a US trip, where he criticized the ruling NDA government. Bittu took offense to Gandhi’s statements regarding the Sikh community, claiming the Congress leader’s comments were an insult to the community and a sign he does not care for India.

The Congress party has called for nationwide protests against the NDA leaders for their remarks against Gandhi.

This incident adds to the already heated political climate in India, with tensions running high between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold and what consequences Bittu might face for his controversial statements.
