New Delhi [India], January 14 : Reacting to the Congress' Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi whether he had ever thought about justice (Nyay) for the people of the Sikh community who suffered atrocities in 1984.
"I want to ask Rahul Gandhi, what has he thought about the justice for the people of our community who suffered atrocities in 1984, did he ever go there and apologised to the people?... Rahul Gandhi is distracted and keeps saying anything. His people said things about Sanatana Dharma and this is unfortunate," Puri told ANI on Sunday.
When asked about former Congress leader Milind Deora joining Shiv Sena, Puri said that he has known Milind Deora and his father Murli Deora for 30-40 years.
"I know Milind Deora and I have known his father Murli Deora for 30-40 years...he has joined Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde and we have an alliance with them so we will work together," he added.
The Maharashtra leader ended his 55-year-old association with the party which went back to his father Murli Deora.
Milind Deora's decision to quit Congress came on the day Rahul Gandhi kickstarted his nationwide 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' from Manipur's Thoubal.
Party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi flagged off the yatra from Manipur's Thoubal.
The yatra will cover over 6,700 kilometres over 67 days, traversing through 110 districts.
