Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has targeted the Congress over the racist statement of former Indian Overseas Congress President Sam Pitroda. He said that he is the intellectual of Congress. Congress divided the country in 1947. After this they have been dividing the country in the name of caste, religion and language. Congress should apologize to the countrymen for this statement.

However, after Sam Pitroda’s statement, Congress distanced itself from it and resigned from the post of President of Indian Overseas Congress.
Let us tell you that on Wednesday, a video of Sam Pitroda went viral, in which he is comparing people from different parts of the country with foreigners. He described the people of the East as Chinese, the people of the South as African and the people of the West as Arab-looking.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed deep displeasure over his statement.
