‘Why is government silent?’ Congress targets BJP over US ‘Mr Singh’ ad

In a striking move, the Congress party has chastised the Indian government for its silence on a provocative advertisement from the US Department of Homeland Security. Featuring the phrase ‘Mr Singh,’ the ad was seen as an affront to Indian respect. Advocacy groups chimed in, condemning the message as racial profiling. Following significant backlash, the US Department of Homeland Security ultimately decided to withdraw the contentious advertisement.
