NEW DELHI, Nov 11: Union minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday slammed Congress minister in Karnataka Zameer Ahmed for purportedly making a “racist remark” targeting former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy.
Ahmed stoked a controversy by purportedly calling Union Minister Kumaraswamy “Kalia Kumaraswamy”.
“I strongly deplore Congress Minister Zameer Ahmed calling Union Minister & Ex CM of Karnataka Sh. Kumaraswamy as ‘Kaalia Kumaraswamy’,” Rijiju said.
“This is a racist remark, same as Rahul Gandhi’s adviser calling South Indians look like Africans, North East as Chinese, North Indians as Arabs,” he said in a post on X. (PTI)
