In response to the ‘Bhaiya’ controversy, senior Congress leader Manish Tewari slammed Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s remark, saying, ‘It is reflective of an unfortunate systemic and institutionalised social bias against migrants.’
Manish Tewari remarked in a series of tweets, ‘De-Horse Politics- The Bhaiya controversy is like the Black issue in the US . It is reflective of an unfortunate systemic & institutionalised social bias against migrants stretching back to the inception of the Green Revolution . At a personal level Despite my mother being a Jat Sikh & my father being the foremost exponent of Punjab – Punjabi- Punjabiyat who laid down his life for Hindu- Sikh amity because of my Sir name it is said behind my back ‘ Eh Bhaiya Kithon Agha’ peppered with the choicest expletives in Punjabi – We have to root it out.’
‘Such thinking should have no place in the Secular ethos of Punjab grounded in the idiom – Manas Ki Jaat Sabhe Ek Pechan,’ he said.
