On Chairman of Indian Overseas Congress Sam Pitroda's controversy, PM Modi says,"...A close aide of Congress and biggest adviser of 'Prince' (Rahul Gandhi), what he said is very shameful. Congress feels that people of Northeast look like Chinese, can a country accept such things? Congress feels that the people of South India look like Africans. I want to ask the Congress Chief Ministers of Karnataka and Telangana, can they accept such opinions? I want to ask the Tamil Nadu CM who keeps talking about Tamil Nadu culture, such a big allegation has been made, will DMK break alliance with Congress for the self-respect of Tamil, does he have the guts for that?... Congress feels people of the West look like Arabs, I want to ask the 'fake Shiv Sena chief', remember about Balasaheb Thackeray...will Maharashtra people accept it?...Congress is now making racist statements..."
