The Chief Ministers of the northeastern States have slammed Sam Pitroda, former chief of the Indian Overseas Congress, for his allegedly racist remarks while describing India’s diversity.
Mr. Pitroda, known to be close to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, said people from various parts of India look like Chinese, Arab, Whites and Africans.
Taking to X, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma wrote: “Sam bhai, I am from the North East and I look like an Indian. We are a diverse country – we may look different but we are all one. Hamare desh ke bare mein thoda to samajh lo (learn a bit about our country)!”
