more-inCongress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday attacked the Modi government over its decision that passport holders requiring emigration check would be given an orange-coloured passport while others will continue to get a blue one, saying it shows the BJP’s “discriminatory mindset“. “Treating India’s migrant workers like second class citizens is completely unacceptable. This action demonstrates BJP’s discriminatory mindset,” he tweeted, after tagging a news report on a new proposal by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). Reacting to Mr. Gandhi’s tweet of this proposal being discriminatory, Trinamool’s Lok Sabha member Dinesh Trivedi said it reminded him of apartheid. “This reminds me of the apartheid system of South Africa which Gandhi fought against and became Mahatma Gandhi.
