The Indian Sikh community has protested against the leader of the Indian opposition party Congress, Rahul Gandhi. Angry Sikh community protested in front of Gandhi residence in New Delhi after Rahul's statement in America.

The Sikh wing of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party organized a rally in front of Rahul's residence demanding an apology. Gandhi said in a speech to an Indian-American in Washington, USA on Monday that "the only concern is whether people from the Sikh community in India will be allowed to go to the Gurudwara wearing a turban and kada (bala)".

Gandhi targeted a participant wearing a turban and said, 'What is the name of the brother who wears the turban ?' "This fight is whether we can wear turbans and turbans in India or not." It is whether you can go to a Gurudwara or not.' In that sequence, Gandhi also accused the RSS of considering certain religions, languages and communities as inferior to others.

The Sikh community has objected to Gandhi's statement. Rahul Gandhi should apologize. He used a foreign land to insult India and make statements against the Sikh community," said BJP leader RP Singh during the protest. The participants of the demonstration raised slogans against Gandhi and said that the Congress party was responsible for the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Hindustan Times reported that some leaders of the Sikh community, including BJP leader Singh, were arrested by the Delhi Police during the protest.

India's Parliamentary and Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju objected to Gandhi's statement and said that India is a safe place for minority communities. He claims that no one who tries to discredit India with the help of anti-India forces will succeed.
