No discrimination in name of caste, religion, colour: Rajnath Singh

10 Apr 2017 Evaluate

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that India can never discriminate against its citizens on the basis of caste, creed, religion and colour. Singh was responding in the Lok Sabha after opposition members created a ruckus over remarks made by former BJP Rajya Sabha member Tarun Vijay in relation to the colour of South Indians.

Singh said that 'this country can never ever allow differentiating on the basis of caste, creed and colour'. He said he would even take the name of the person as he is neither a member of the Lok Sabha nor Rajya Sabha. Singh said that he (Vijay) has already apologised, saying his remarks are indefensible. Singh said that when he has already apologised, there is no requirement of raising questions.
