The Bharatiya Janata Party has hit back at Chairman of Indian Overseas Congress Sam Pitroda over his racist remarks about how people in the South look like Africans and those in the East look like Chinese.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was one of the first to react when he took to X and slammed Pitroda over his remarks and said, “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. Understand a little about our country!” BJP candidate from Thiruvananthapuram and Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar termed Pitroda’s remark as “Shameless”.
“This is how Rahul Gandhi has been taught to divide up and see India by his tutor and mentor -Sam Pitroda,” he said. BJP MP Tejasvi Surya alleged that the statement by Pitroda is no different from what Churchill had said about Indians.
“Congress has always been the OG-breaking India party. This commentary is no different from what Churchill had said about us. No wonder RG is the way he is after being mentored by him!” Surya said.
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla also joined in the criticism alleging that these were racist comments by a man who is the guru of Rahul Gandhi. “It is the words and thinking of Rahul Gandhi only because these days Rahul is also playing the politics of divide and rule to such an extent that first they divide on caste and language lines and now they are doing Indians Vs Indians. To make comments like Indians are like Chinese. Isn’t this a racist comment? Isn’t this insulting? Indians are looking like Africans. Isn’t it the comment on the entire South people? By making these comments, it shows that Congress’ “Mohabbat ki dukaan” actually has “Nafrat ka saaman”. Unless Congress gives a complete explanation and sacks Sam Pitroda, this should be taken as the statement of the Congress,” Poonawalla said.
BJP candidate from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi, Kangana Ranaut also took to X and said that Congress’ whole ideology is about divide and rule. “Sam Pitroda is Rahul Gandhi’s mentor. Listen to his racist & divisive jibes for Indians. Their whole ideology is about divide & rule. It’s sickening to call fellow Indians Chinese and African. Shame on Congress!” Ranaut said.
Sam Pitroda has a very old and bad habit of making controversial statements about the BJP political leaders. This shows that he is a Congress Confidant from a long time know for his highly objectionable statements.
