Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday attacked Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over party leader Sam Pitroda's controversial remarks, saying that the latter's statement was an "insult to several people of the country on the basis of their skin colour". Pitroda stoked controversy earlier in the day with his remarks that people in East India resembled the Chinese, while those from South India looked like Africans.
"I can tolerate it when abuses are hurled at me, but not when they are hurled at my people. Can we decide a person's merit based on skin colour?" he said while addressing a poll rally in Telangana's Warangal district.
"No matter what the colour of one's skin is, we are the people who worship Lord Krishna. I am very angry today. The people who keep the Constitution above their heads are insulting people on the basis of their skin colour," PM Modi said.
