"Rahul Gandhi’s recent remarks on the Sikh Community during his foreign trip are disgraceful and unacceptable. His words are now being exploited by radical Khalistanis," BJP national vice president M Chuba Ao has tweeted.
"No leader of the opposition in India’s parliament had ever caused such embarrassment to the nation as Rahul Gandhi has. He must issue an unconditional apology to the country," Chuba further wrote on X.

Protest Outside Sonia Gandhi's House Over Rahul Gandhi's Sikh Remarks
LoP's remarks have raised hackles back home, and the BJP has accused him of habitually making anti-national comments abroad.
Asking a Sikh member of the audience his name, Rahulhad said: "The fight is about whether he, as a Sikh, is going to be allowed to wear a turban in India; or whether, he, as a Sikh, will be allowed to wear a kada in India; or whether he, as a Sikh, is allowed to go to a Gurudwara.
That's what the fight is about, and not just for him, but for all religions".
Referring to the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 following the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards, Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri said, "If there has been one time in our history when as a community, we have felt anxiety, a sense of insecurity and existential threat, it has been the times when Rahul Gandhi's family has been in the seats of power".
Leaders from the Sikh community also staged a protest outside the residence of Rahul Gandhi over the latter's remarks.
