what will South Indian sanghis say to this ?
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Tarun Vijay is facing criticism for responding to a question on the allegedly racist attacks on African nationals in Greater Noida by saying if India was, indeed, racist, we would not “live with” “black people around us”. “If we were racist, why would....all the entire South – you know, Kerala, Tamil, Andhra, Karnataka – why do we live with them?” He added, “We have blacks...black people around us.”
Vijay’s remarks triggered outrage soon after they was shared across social media. He took to Twitter to clarify his statement. “In many parts of the nation, we have different people, in colour and never ever we had any discrimination against them...My words perhaps were not enough to convey this,” he said, apologising to those who felt he spoke “differently from he meant”.
