The ‘bhaiya’ controversy is like the Black issue in the United States and reflected an institutionalised social bias against migrants, Lok Sabha member and senior Congress leader Manish Tewari said on Friday.
His comments come a day after Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi was forced to clarify that his remarks about not letting “bhaiyas” from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Delhi to enter Punjab were distorted and taken out of context.
“De-Horse Politics- The Bhaiya controversy is like the Black issue in the US. It is reflective of an unfortunate systemic and institutionalised social bias against migrants stretching back to the inception of the Green Revolution,” Mr. Tewari said on Twitter.
