This Viral Video Of British-Sikh MP Calling Out The PM For His "Racist Remarks" Will Give You Chills

Earlier yesterday, a video of Britain’s first turbaned Sikh MP–Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi went viral for calling out PM Borris for his ‘racist remarks’.

In the video, the MP further demands an apology for the PM’s ‘derogatory’ remarks.

MPs applaud, as Labour’s Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi tells Boris Johnson to apologise for “derogatory and racist remarks” comparing Muslim women who wear a hijab to “bank robbers and letterboxes”#PMQs updates: https://t.co/utgDYwGajI pic.twitter.com/CDMQRGJGL8

In a heartfelt-passionate speech about discrimination in the House Of Commons, Mr. Dhesi took a stand for the racist comments, while demanding a logical justification from the PM and speaker for the same.

He further shared the trauma of his childhood where he and people from his community were called names likes “Taliban” and ” towel head”.

With all his boldness, he pointed out that the PM’s derogatory comments and racist remarks have led to a spike in hate crime.

He took a stand for Muslim women in burkhas and hijabs who’re referred to as “letterboxes” and “bank robbers” as he questioned the PM about his inquiry on Islamophobia.

Netizens couldn’t help but applaud Tanmanjeet Singh for taking a stand:

Well done to @TanDhesi
for standing up and directly challenging the PM to apologize for Islamophobia his party is spreading. PM has a short memory – promised inquest is forgotten already

Thank you @TanDhesi for standing up for the vulnerable members of the community who regularly face hate crime. A truly heartfelt speech, we need more MPs to stand up and vocalise the reality that constituents face. More of this please 👏🏽

And yet no apology from Boris Johnson. Disgraceful.

The parliamentarian is a Sikh, so please don’t mistake him as a Muslim; however, he is mindful of the bigotry & racism against people of religion etc.

Boris's response appears to be saying that diversity is OK as long as people are either 1. related to himself or 2. working for him and agreeing with everything he says. @TanDhesi wasn't talking about Boris's relations or cabinet, but about British people's life experiences.
