Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took to Twitter and said “racist rhetoric” against the Guwahati contestant was unacceptable
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on November 16 said racism should be condemned “unequivocally” after a contestant from Guwahati on a dance reality show was subjected to racist rhetoric.
In a clip of Colors TV’s “Dance Deewane 3” that has gone viral on social media, the show’s host-dancer Raghav Juyal is seen introducing a contestant from the North-east while speaking gibberish, seemingly to mock Mandarin, the language spoken by the Chinese people.
When the judges, including actor Madhuri Dixit-Nene and filmmaker Remo D’Souza, ask him what he is trying to do, the host replies as he casually makes a racist remark on the young contestant, Gunjan Sinha.
