Does Tarun Vijay mean only RSS, BJP are Indians: P Chidambaram

The DMK took a dig at Tarun Vijay and said Jayalalithaa was fair.

Was Tarun Vijay referring to RSS and BJP members when he said 'we.' This was a jibe by former finance minister of India, P Chidambaram while reacting to the statements made by former BJP MP, Tarun Vijay.

Chidambaram said, " when Tarun Vijay said we live with blacks, I ask him who is we? Was he referring to BJP/RSS members as the only Indians?" The statement by Vijay has created a controversy with many questioning his logic.

While trying to defend India against charges of racism he said that if we Indians were racist, why would have the entire South. "Which is you know... completely Tamil, you know Kerala, you know Karnataka and Andhra. Why do we live with them? We have blacks, black people all around us," he also said.

The DMK in Tamil Nadu also took a dig and said, "Funny? Not all people in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are black. Our leader Dr Kalignar is far, Jayalalithaa was fair," T K S Elangovan of the DMK said.
