Sam Pitroda ‘Chinese, African’ remark: DMK says ‘he couldn’t explain properly' after PM Modi's ‘cut ties’ dare
‘Looked at myself in mirror and I appeared…’: Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sam Pitroda's 'Chinese, African' remark Sam Pitroda, in an interview to 'The Statesman', while reflecting upon the democracy in India said, “We have survived 75 years in a very happy environment where people could live together, leaving aside few fights here and there. We could hold a country together as diverse as India, where people on east look like Chinese, people on West look like Arab, people on North look like white and maybe people on South look like Africans." As the matter snowballed, PM Modi asked if Congress' key ally DMK will snap ties with it.
He asked if DMK President and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, “who speaks of Tamil culture, such a serious allegation has been made--will DMK snap ties with Congress, for Tamil pride and the Tamil people." “Do they have the guts?" PM Modi asked. Sam Pitroda has resigned as the Indian Overseas Congress Chairman after the remarks became viral.Milestone Alert!
