Recently, Sam Pitroda resigned from the post of President of Indian Overseas Congress after his controversial statements. Pitroda often remains in the headlines for his statements. During the Lok Sabha elections, he had created problems for the Congress party on many occasions with his statements. Recently, Sam Pitroda had said on the diversity of India that the people living in the east of India look like Chinese.
While people living in the south look like Africans, people of western India look like Arabs. Along with this, he also said that North Indians are fair, perhaps they look like whites. This statement of Pitroda given during the elections created problems for the Congress. After this, he resigned from the post of President of Indian Overseas Congress.
On Sam Pitroda’s statement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing a Lok Sabha election rally in Warangal, Telangana, said that the prince’s philosopher and guide uncle has revealed a big secret. He said that all those who have black skin are from Africa, meaning he has insulted many people of the country on the basis of their skin color. Sam Pitroda had also given a statement on inheritance tax. There was already a controversy on this issue in the election season.
After Sam Pitroda’s statement, Congress had to face attacks from all sides. Congress even distanced itself from Sam Pitroda. The party said that it is not true that Pitroda’s views always reflect the position of the Indian National Congress. Many times his views are not the views of the Congress party.
