PM should dismiss Giriraj, apologise to nation: Bhuniya

A senior Congress leader in West Bengal today demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi dismiss Union Minister Giriraj Singh immediately for his racist barb at Congress president Sonia Gandhi and apologise to the nation.
Manas Bhuniya, former state Congress president, said that the atrocious remark smacked of racial hatred and an attack on womanhood.
"Giriraj Singh's attack on Sonia Gandhi is a reflection of racial hatred. It is also an attack on womenhood. It is an unpardonable offence. Hope the PM will take an immediate step on the issue," Bhuniya said.
"The PM should dismiss Giriraj Singh immediately for his racial comment and apologise to the nation," he said.

The Union Minister had asked the Congress on Tuesday at Hajipur whether the party would have accepted Sonia Gandhi's leadership if she were not white-skinned.
