Kalpetta : Muslim League leader, PK Basheer uses racial slur in his description of MM Mani. In his disgraceful address at a League congregation in Wayanad, Basheer said:”He(CM) has fear of black; He has fear of purdah(veil). And, my fear is, what will happen when MM Mani turns up at the State Committee. His eyes and mouth are black after all..” Basheer was speaking at a convention commemorating tour of Muslim league State President Panakkad Sadiqh Ali Shihab Thangal to Wayanad.
Social media is rife with outrage against Basheer, the League leader and MLA from Ernad. Ministers V Sivankuty and K Radhakrishnan reacted to the remarks. Not black, not white, Mani Ashaan is red.. wrote Sivankutty on his FB post.
