Rahul Gandhi calls Ravneet Bittu a traitor

As Bittu walked past the protesters, Rahul Gandhi remarked, "Here is a traitor walking right by. Look at the face,' and even offered to shake his hand, saying, "Hello brother, my traitor friend. Don't worry, you will come back (to Congress)."

Refusing the handshake, Bittu hit back sharply, saying "desh ke dushman" (enemies of the nation), and made it clear that he does not associate with those he considers hostile to the country. The two leaders were then seen exchanging heated words before moving on.
