Ravi Shankar Prasad asked why Rahul Gandhi has such insistence on holding his rally in Delhi on November 1? This matter is being taken very seriously by our party. November 1 is the day of emotions for Sikhs. The massacre took place in 1984, Sikhs remember it with great emotion.

The BJP leader said, we have heard that many members of the Indi alliance, including Rahul Gandhi, were not satisfied with this decision. We also learned that a virtual meeting was called on October 22 to discuss the issue but, due to non-attendance of many allies, the meeting was postponed. Many allies were unhappy with the date of November 1 and suggested that the rally be postponed to a later date. This is the real face of Rahul Gandhi that if my insistence is there, I will not listen to anyone, I will play a cruel joke with the sentiments of the Sikhs.
Prasad said that the Chamber of Trade Industry in Delhi has written a letter to Rahul Gandhi asking him to please postpone the rally on November 1 and consider holding the rally after November 10 in the interest of traders. The BJP leader asked, Rahul Gandhi ji, you are angry with BJP and Modi ji, but are you angry with the common man and businessmen of the country also? You are not ready to listen to them also, this is your stubbornness. We condemn this. Rahul Gandhi is very irresponsible and does not respect the ideas of public interest.
