Musician and activist TM Krishna has now jumped into the controversy over Congress leader “Rahul Gandhi meeting a woman, purportedly of a different nationality” at a nightclub in Nepal. On Wednesday, May 4, he tweeted that people in India had become racists.
“To me, it is irrelevant whether the lady at the pub was a Chinese diplomat. But what is obvious is that, to Indians Chinese, Nepalis, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, even people from Nagaland or Meghalaya are all the same. I will not use the commonly used slur! We are RACISTS,” TM Krishna tweeted.
His comment came after many people shared Rahul Gandhi’s video on Twitter and Facebook with the claim that the woman accompanying the Congress party leader was Hou Yanqi, the Chinese Ambassador to Nepal. Rahul Gandhi has gone to Nepal to attend the wedding of a journalist friend, Sumnima Udas.
Several BJP leaders also shared the video of Rahul Gandhi and the woman and accused the Congress leader of “meeting a Chinese diplomat”.
Many expressed concerns about this, wondering why he met with a supposed Chinese envoy in a nightclub, and what they were talking about.
