Bengaluru: Days after BJP leader and Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu sparked controversy with his remarks on Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, an FIR has been registered against him at High Grounds Police Station in Bengaluru.

According to information, the complaint was filed by a Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee office bearer against the Minister of State for Railways, who had targeted Rahul Gandhi for his comments in the US regarding the condition of Sikhs in India.

Replying to the reporter's question over Gandhi's comments in the US on the conditions of Sikhs, Bittu had then called Rahul Gandhi a terrorist. "Rahul Gandhi spent most of his time outside the country. His friends and family are there. I think he does not love his country much because he goes abroad and says negative things about India. I think he is not a Hindustani," he said.

"Now, he has got support from separatists, who always talk about dividing this country. They (the separatists) and the most-wanted persons are also appreciating Rahul Gandhi for his remarks against Sikhs. When such people, who are also experts in manufacturing bombs, are supporting Rahul Gandhi, then he is the number one terrorist of the country. He is talking like a separatist. There should be a reward for catching him, as he is the biggest enemy of the country," he added.

Meanwhile, after the protests erupted by the Congress leaders against his remark, Bittu said that the Congress party is finally back to its old tricks.
