What did Red FM RJ Nitin actually utter in his program about Nepali or Gurkha community or to be specifically to Indian Idol Prashant Tamang? The Radio Jockey described Indian Idol Prashant Tamang as '‘chowkidwar se Indian Idol’'. He moreover said, “shopkeepers will now have to make their own security arrangements as Gorkhas have taken to singing.â€
Verbatim from Red FM Radio Jockey (RJ) on Indian Idol Prashant Tamang
“Aaaj Prashant Tamang ‘Nepali ladka from Darjeeling’ [Today Prashant Tamang, Nepali boy from Darjeeling] has become Indian Idol [laughs sarcastically] and we have a [cricket] match tonight so we need to guard our house / malls / restaurants by ourselves as there will be no Nepali people to guard these place and whole night we need to say Jagtay Raho [stay awake].†The RJ also added that all the Footpath Momo shops will remain closed as Nepali guy has become Indian Idol.
Asks activist, Rashmi Deewan, He should be pulled off air. How can he stereotype us (Gorkhas) like this? Does he know what Gorkhas have done for India?â€
The West Bengal government has now promised to take action against Red FM channel.
