Amid the uproar, Bittu defended his grandfather’s legacy, highlighting that Singh’s sacrifice was for the nation and never any political get together.
“Channi is speaking about poverty; he’s probably the most corrupt and wealthy particular person in Punjab, and I will change my title if I am confirmed incorrect,” Bittu mentioned, additional alleging that Channi was an accused in ‘Me Too’ as effectively.
Responding to Channi’s “pores and skin color” remark, Bittu retorted, “It sounds such as you’re speaking about Sonia Gandhi. Are you able to show the place she got here from?”
