<p>Union Minister for Food Processing Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Saturday attacked the Congress President Rahul Gandhi over his statement that his party's foundation was based on compassion and mutual brotherhood.</p>

<p>Taking aim at the Congress President, the Union Minister said that he was fooling people by talking about "love" as the country saw the "brotherhood" of the Congress party during the 1984 riots when thousands of innocent Sikhs were massacred.</p>

<p>According to official records, about 2,800 Sikhs were killed across India, including 2,100 in Delhi, during the pogrom that broke out after the then prime minister, Indira Gandhi, was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards.</p>

<p>Badal took to Twitter to say, "The country saw the ‘love’ and ‘brotherhood’ of the Congress in October and November 1984 when thousands of innocent Sikhs were massacred. Congress talking about ‘compassion’ and ‘mutual brotherhood’…looks like someone is celebrating April Fools Day already!"</p>
