Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a rally in Warangal, expressed strong disapproval of remarks made by Congress leader Sam Pitroda regarding skin colour. He emphasized that the people of India reject any form of insult based on skin colour and demanded answers from Rahul Gandhi regarding the issue.
In a fiery speech delivered at a rally in Warangal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned remarks made by Congress leader Sam Pitroda concerning skin colour. Modi asserted that such derogatory comments are intolerable in Bharat, emphasizing that every citizen deserves respect regardless of their skin colour.
Modi directly addressed Rahul Gandhi, asserting that the nation demands answers from him regarding the disrespectful remarks made by Pitroda. He questioned the Congress party’s stance on President Droupadi Murmu, insinuating that their opposition was based on her skin colour rather than her capabilities.
Referring to Pitroda as the “American uncle,” Modi criticized him for suggesting that people from certain regions of Bharat resemble foreigners. He condemned Pitroda’s remark that people from the North East resemble Chinese, highlighting its divisive and racist undertones.
The Prime Minister accused the Congress party of adopting a foreign mindset since the assumption of leadership by individuals of foreign origin. He asserted that this mindset perceives Indians as outsiders, thereby undermining the essence of India’s identity and unity.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swiftly condemned Pitroda’s remarks, labeling them as racist and divisive. They criticized the Congress leader’s understanding of Bharat’s cultural diversity and accused the party of nurturing a foreign-centric ideology.
Responding to the controversy, the Congress party distanced itself from Pitroda’s comments, describing them as unfortunate and unacceptable.
Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh emphasized that the party completely dissociates itself from the analogies drawn by Pitroda, underscoring the need for respectful discourse on Bharat’s diversity.
The incident underscores the ongoing political tensions surrounding issues of identity and diversity in Bharat. It highlights the importance of promoting unity and tolerance while condemning divisive rhetoric that seeks to undermine the nation’s social fabric.
