Union Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), Jyotiraditya Scindia, has expressed deep concern over the recent incident of racial harassment faced by three young women from Arunachal Pradesh in South Delhi.

Terming the incident as “profoundly shameful” and “unacceptable in today’s world,” the  Minister emphasised that prejudice and intimidation rooted in discrimination have no place in society and must be dealt with firmly.

Shri Scindia spoke over telephone with the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Pema Khandu, and the Commissioner of Delhi Police, and sought immediate and stringent action in the matter. He has been assured that strict action will be taken and that the accused will be apprehended swiftly.

Reiterating the Government’s commitment, Shri Scindia stated that any injustice against citizens from the North Eastern Region will not be tolerated and that their safety and dignity remain paramount.

Deeply disturbed by the racial harassment faced by three young women from Arunachal Pradesh in Malviya Nagar, South Delhi. A minor residential issue escalating into abuse and intimidation rooted in prejudice is profoundly shameful.

Spoke with Hon’ble CM of Arunachal…
