Monika Khangembam meets MoS Kiren Rijiju over racism incident

Manipuri woman Monika Khangembam, who was subjected to racial discrimination at Indira Gandhi International Airport's immigration desk met Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju to discuss the incident.

After the meeting, Khangembam took to Facebook to thank the minister for his concern over the issue and taking action against the officer who misbehaved.

In the FB post, she also brought forward the point that "the issue of racism is beyond national identity. There are many cases of racial discrimination against African nationals and other nationals as well."

"While this incident may be seen as trivial by some, I believe that this incident is merely symptomatic of a larger set of experiences that many people from the north east have on a regular basis," she added.
