The Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Bhajanlal Sharma, on Wednesday criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his recent remarks made in the US regarding the Sikh community. Sharma said that the remarks on the religious freedom in India have hurt the dignity of the country.

"Rahul Gandhi ji, why do you repeatedly try to tarnish India's image by going abroad? Your statement on the religious freedom of Indian minorities during your US visit has hurt the dignity of the country. Have you forgotten what was the role of Congress in the gruesome riots against Sikhs in 1984?" said Sharma in a post on X.
