While reacting to Congress leader Sam Pitroda's comment "People in east look like Chinese, in South, look like Africans...", Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh said that the Congress leader's remark is very irresponsible. The Manipur Chief Minister condemned the "racist" remark and said he would consult a legal expert. He said, "This is very irresponsible and he exposed that he does not know the geographical composition of India. Congress has been doing this 'divide and rule' policy. How can he say that the people from the Northeast are like Chinese? We are a part of India. We do not belong to China. We are just Indians. All the Northeast people live together. How can he give such a racist comment? I highly condemn this type of racist words used by him. I will consult the legal expert if we can sue against the remark given by the Chairman of Indian Overseas Congress..."
