New Delhi: Sam Pitroda quits from his post as Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress on Wednesday for his controversial statements on Indians body Colour.

Sam Pitroda speaking to the media person, he derided the country’s diversity with his controversial statement. A diverse country, where people in the East look like Chinese, people on the West look like Arabs, people on the North look like maybe white and people in the South look like of Africa, drawn anger and outrage from BJP and other political parties.

His recent assertions on Inheritance tax and its benefits also received huge flak from the BJP and put his own party in a spot.

Jairam Ramesh, Congress communications in-charge in his twitter X informed about Pitroda’s decision and said that he did it of his own accord. Congress has accepted Pitroda’s resignation, he added.

Pitroda, said to be the political mentor of Rahul Gandhi, found himself in the eye of the storm over his statements, the latest being a racial slur on the country’s citizens. The Congress also took exception to Pitroda’s remarks on the colour of citizens and termed it unfortunate and unacceptable.

The INC completely dissociates itself from such analogies; they are most unfortunate and unacceptable, he said.
