New Delhi, Jan 17 (UNI) Strongly condemning the alleged racist remarks against Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty on a British reality show 'Celebrity Big Brother', the BJP today demanded the UPA Government take up the case with its UK counterpart.

''We condemn all kinds of apartheid, be it on racist basis or otherwise. We hope the Government take up the issue at the right forum,'' BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar said.

He said the party was condemning it, not merely because it had happened with a celebrity, but it was against racist discrimination of any kind against any body. ''We also hope that the UK government will take appropriate action against those who meted out such treatment to Shilpa,'' he said.

Shilpa's co-contestants on the TV Show allegedly ridiculed her by calling a 'dog'.
