He informed on Friday while attending a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Zone III virtual meet held under the chairmanship of the Speaker of Arunachal Pradesh, Pasang Dorjee Sona on a racial statement made by YouTuber Paras Singh against Congress MLA from Arunachal Pradesh, Ninong Ering.
The Speakers of Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and the Deputy Speaker of Assam attended the virtual meet.
