“De-Horse Politics – The Bhaiya controversy is like the Black issue in the US . It is reflective of an unfortunate systemic and institutionalised social bias against migrants stretching back to the inception of the Green Revolution,” Tewari, who is also part of the Congress change-seekers, said in a post on microblogging site Twitter.
He said that despite his mother being a Jat Sikh and his father “being the foremost exponent of Punjab-Punjabi-Punjabiyat who laid down his life for Hindu-Sikh amity”, because of his surname, “it is said behind my back ‘eh Bhaiya kithon agha’ peppered with the choicest expletives in Punjabi”.
“We have to root it out. Such thinking should have no place in the secular ethos of Punjab grounded in the idiom – Manas ki jaat sabhe ek pehchan (recognising the whole human race as one),” he said.
Tewari made no direct reference to Channi, but his remarks left little doubt about the context.
