New Delhi: Yet in another racism incident a Manipuri woman was harassed at he Delhi airport by immigration officials. According to the reports, Monika Khangembam was asked about her nationality by an officer at the immigration desk despite carrying a valid Indian passport.
The incident came into light when Monika narrated the incident on her Facebook page on July 9. External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj promised late on Sunday to look into the alleged harassment and racism faced by the woman.
Monika Khangembam post read, ‘humiliated’ by the immigration officer’s behaviour. The officer looked at my passport and said you don’t look like an Indian. I said I was really getting late and he goes like, “aircraft aapko chodke kahi nahi jaa rahi. Aaram se jawab do” (the aircraft isn’t leaving without you. You can answer at ease.)
