Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu on Saturday (February 7, 2026) slammed Rahul Gandhi for hurling a "traitor" barb at him, and alleged he was coming towards him after losing his temper.

The Union Minister of State for railways and food processing industries also lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP leaders for standing by him.

While Mr. Bittu was entering Parliament on Wednesday (February 4, 2026) morning, Mr. Gandhi called him a "traitor" as the Minister retorted with "desh ke dushman" (enemy of the country) jibe.

Entire Sikh community anguished over Rahul calling Bittu traitor: BJP

The incident took place right outside Parliament's Makar Dwar, the main entrance which MPs take to enter the new Parliament building, where Mr. Gandhi was standing in solidarity with suspended Congress MPs, mostly from Punjab, who were protesting on the stairs.
