Breaking News: Rahul Gandhi Calls Ex-Congress Leader Ravneet Singh Bittu “Traitor” During Parliament Protest

A political confrontation unfolded outsideParliament’s Makar Gate as eight MPs, suspended from the ongoing budget session, staged a protest. Among them wasRavneet Singh Bittu, a former Congress member who recently joined theBJP. Congress leaderRahul Gandhi, present at the protest, reportedly called Bittu a“traitor” as he approached the group.Video footage shows Gandhi greeting Bittu with a handshake and saying “Hello, brother”, but Bittu did not respond or shake hands. Gandhi reiterated in English, “See, traitor walking right now,” highlighting his disapproval of Bittu’s political switch. The incident occurred amid heightened tension in the Lok Sabha, where opposition members were already involved in a loud protest and eight MPs had been suspended the previous day. Bittu reportedly moved past the protestors on the Makar Gate steps and entered Parliament, while suspended MPs remained seated on the stairs, continuing their demonstration. The episode underscores the growing political friction between Congress and BJP members and has attracted nationwide attention. Analysts say it reflects not only personal rivalries but also broader party tensions during critical parliamentary proceedings.
