Racial discrimination in India
The Times of India, Feb 06 2016
A day after suggesting that the attack on a 21-year-old Tanzanian girl in the Hesaraghatta area was nothing but racial, Tanzanian high commissioner John H W Kijazi said he is “impressed with the action taken by the state government“. The incident was not of a racial nature, he added. Speaking to reporters after a one-hour meeting with home minister G Parameshwara along with external affairs ministry (MEA) officers, Kijazi said: “I am impressed with the concrete long-term measures sugges ted by the government.“
Kijazi said an environment must be created to avoid friction between the two parties. He asked the students to follow the local law.MEA joint secretary Partha Sathpathy , who was part of the team that came to Bengaluru, said the attack was an “isolated incident and a consequence of a series of incidents“. The state has given a clear picture on the incident.
