James Sangma lauds Delhi Police action in racial slur case
The Story in Brief
Rajya Sabha MP James Sangma has welcomed the swift action by Delhi Police in the case involving racial slurs against a youth from Tripura. Delhi Police arrested social media content creator Amir Shokeen after a viral video showed him making racial slurs and harassing the young man in the national capital.
Speaking to reporters, Sangma said racism was a deeply complex issue that could not be eliminated overnight and required long-term effort. He stressed that prompt action whenever such incidents come to light could send a strong message that racial slurs should not be treated casually. He also commended Delhi Police for its quick response, describing it as a positive beginning.
In a post on X, Sangma said racism against northeastern citizens in any form is unacceptable and timely action is important for preventing future wrongdoings. According to Sangma, greater public awareness and exposure of such incidents could help bring about a considerable reduction in racism over time.
