New Delhi, May 5 -- Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said he is "more than happy" to take responsibility for a lot of the "mistakes" his party made when he was not there, in a response, to a pointed question about the 1984 riots, that triggered a political controversy on Sunday. Gandhi's remarks, made during an interaction session at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University in the US on April 21, were shared on the institute's YouTube channel on Saturday. During the session, a Sikh student asked a question as to what attempts Gandhi was making to reconcile with the Sikh community and referred to the 1984 Sikh riots in his lengthy poser. The student also referred to Gandhi's remark during an earlier visit to the US in which he said the battle he was fighting was about whether Sikhs would be allowed to wear a turban in India or not. In his reply, Gandhi said, "I don't think that anything scares the Sikhs. The statement I made was, do we want an India where people are uncomfortable to express their religion?" "As far as the mistakes of the Congress party are concerned, a lot of those mistakes happened when I was not there, but I am more than happy to take responsibility for everything that the Congress party has ever done wrong in its history." Tagging that segment of the interaction, Bharatiya Janata Party's IT cell head Amit Malviya said on Saturday, "It is quite unprecedented that Rahul Gandhi is now being ridiculed not just in India, but around the world." The BJP also attacked Gandhi for calling Hindu deity Lord Ram "a mythological figure"....
