What was the dispute?
Sam Pitroda had made racist remarks against the people of India some time ago. On which PM Modi had also replied to him. Sam had said that in India the people in the East look like Chinese, the people in the West look like Arabs, the people in the North probably look like whites and the people in the South look like Africans. PM Modi had retaliated on this. He said that I am very angry. One of the Prince's uncles today used such abuse which has filled me with anger. The people who hold the Constitution at their head are insulting the skin of the country.
