Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad launched a sharp attack on Rahul Gandhi over the INDIA bloc's planned November 1 protest, arguing that the date holds painful significance for the Sikh community in the context of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Accusing the Congress leader of disregarding Sikh sentiments, Prasad questioned Rahul Gandhi's insistence on the date, alleged a pattern of confrontational politics, and claimed the Congress had historically failed to deliver justice.
