PMK founder S Ramadoss today demanded that the Union government expel US diplomat Maureen Chao for her controversial comments on Tamils.
“Its highly condemnable. While Tamils have been excelling in many fields,including Information Technology and surprise many including Americans,a US official saying this cannot be tolerated,” Ramadoss said in a statement.
“People like her should not be allowed to stay in Tamil Nadu. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should call her in person to express its opposition and expel her immediately from the country,” he said.
US Vice-Consul Maureen Chao was caught in a row after her remarks of “dirty and dark” Tamilians,prompting the US Consulate here to term them as “inappropriate.”
“I was on a 24-hour train trip from Delhi to Orissa. But after 72 hours the train still did not reach the destination.. and my skin became dirty and dark like the Tamilians,” she said in a speech at the SRM University on Friday.
