Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu in a racist remark terms BJP as 'Kaale Angrez'. Speaking at a rally in Indore, the Congress leader Navjot Sidhu said, "Congress is a party that got India its freedom, we are a party of Maulana Azad and Mahatma Gandhi. They freed India from the British, now you the people of Indore will free India of these 'kaale angrez', of these chors and Chowkidaars". Sidhu’s comments came after his 72-hour ban by Election Commission ended.
