Shashi Tharoor's disputed statement over discrimination in India

Shashi Tharoor said, "In India, we see the same problem with the people of North-East because they look different. We are fighting a fight in India against such discrimination".

He added, "This discrimination was also seen during the Coronavirus pandemic. When the Tablighi Jamaat issue arose. Just before the first lockdown, the people of Tablighi Jamaat had gathered and when these people returned to their states, the infection of Coronavirus gained pace. This incident was used to justify discrimination against the Muslims of India".
