British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has broken his silence on the allegations of apartheid in Buckingham Palace. Although he did not mention it directly. Sunak said that we should raise our voices against apartheid. Wherever such allegations are made, they should be investigated.

 

Sunak of Indian origin said- I faced apartheid in my childhood. He said- It used to feel worse when this kind of behavior used to happen in front of younger siblings. But I am happy to say that whatever experience I have had in my childhood, no one will have that experience today. Because our country has made a lot of progress in dealing with apartheid. However, there is still a lot of work to be done in tackling apartheid.

 

those words stung

On apartheid matters, he said – only a few words were said. But, nothing can sting as much as he used to sting. These words pierce your heart. There is a minority group. He always assumes that a racist attitude is being adopted towards him. But, I would not like to project such an image of my country.
