Varun
Dhawan
and
Rajkummar
Rao
have
condemned
YouTuber
Paras
Singh
for
allegedly
using
a
racist
slur
against
Arunachal
Pradesh
MLA
Ninong
Ering
in
one
of
his
videos.
Varun
took
to
his
Instagram
story
to
share
a
screenshot
of
a
news
article
which
was
originally
posted
by
filmmaker
Amar
Kaushik
with
a
caption
that
read,
"Being
ignorant
about
your
country
and
its
region
is
stupidity
in
itself,
but
when
that
ignorance
is
expressed
in
an
offensive
manner,
it
becomes
toxic.
We
all
need
to
call
out
and
condemn
such
ignorance
in
one
voice
and
make
all
idiots
understand
that
IT
IS
NOT
ACCEPTABLE
ANYMORE."
Rajkummar
Rao
also
extended
support
to
Amar
Kaushik's
post
by
reposting
it
on
his
Instagram
story
and
wrote,
"Not
Acceptable.
I
agree
@amarkaushik."
For
those
unaware,
Paras,
who
runs
a
YouTube
channel
called
'Paras
Official',
reportedly
had
referred
to
MLA
Ninong
Ering
as
'non-Indian'
in
a
video
and
claimed
that
the
'state
was
a
part
of
China'.
Later,
he
had
apologized
for
his
racist
comments
in
another
video.
He
was
arrested
in
Punjab
on
Tuesday
(May
25,
2021).
Speaking
about

Kaushik's
upcoming
directorial
Bhediya
with

Sanon

Arunachal
Pradesh.
During

the
Coolie
No.1
actor
often
shared
photos
and
videos
from
the
picturesque
locations.
