Santa Clara (USA): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is on a US tour these days. A group of Khalistan supporters waved flags and raised slogans during Rahul Gandhi’s speech at an event in California. This interrupted his speech for some time.
Rahul Gandhi was speaking at the ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukan’ program organized by ‘Indian Overseas Congress USA’ in Santa Clara on Tuesday. At the same time, some people in the audience started raising slogans against him and the Gandhi family in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. In response to the sloganeering, an unperturbed Gandhi smiled and said, ‘Welcome, welcome… the shop of love in the market of hatred.’
The 52-year-old former Congress president then joined his supporters in the audience and responded with slogans of ‘Join India’. He said, ‘We are not going to get angry, nor are we going to be aggressive. We will listen to it properly, in fact we will be affectionate towards them, have loving feelings towards them. Because it is our nature.’
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Amit Malviya shared a clip of the incident on Twitter, writing, ‘Slogan in front of Rahul Gandhi in America for the 1984 Sikh Genocide (initiated by Congress)… such hatred was ignited, Which is not extinguished yet.

Reacting to Malviya’s remarks, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate asked him why he was favoring pro-Khalistan elements to oppose Gandhi. He tweeted, ‘By the way, if you had listened to (the clip) a little more, you would have seen how the people who wanted Khalistan responded by raising slogans of ‘Join India’. Once you also take the tricolor in your hand and say loudly ‘Jodo-Jodo, Bharat Jodo’. Believe me, a traitor like you will also like it.
Rahul Gandhi arrived here on Tuesday on a three-city tour of America. During this, he will interact with NRIs and meet American MPs.
