Sikh Labour MP Asks Boris Johnson to Apologise for 'Racist' Remarks against Muslim Women
Tan Manjit Singh, a Sikh MP from Britain's Labor Party, has given Prime Minister Boris Johnson a standing ovation.
Boris Johnson last year identified Muslim women wearing burqas with a letter box.
Leader of the opposition in the British Parliament, Jeremy Corbyn, shared a video on social media and wrote that everyone should watch this incredible video.

In the presence of Prime Minister Boris Johnson during the meeting of the British Parliament, Tan Manjit said that no one, wearing a turban, hat, hijab or burqa, has the right to make fun of them.
He said that since childhood we have heard distressing phrases like 'tow head', 'Taliban' and 'people from developing countries', Muslim women were identified with bank robbers and letter boxes.
Tan Jet Singh asked the British Prime Minister why instead of hiding and ignoring investigations due to embarrassment, you would apologize for your humiliating and racist sentences.
The British Parliament addressed the speaker, saying that racial rhetoric sparked outrage and that such rhetoric within Boris Johnson's party had grown.
Tanjit Singh also said that when the Prime Minister will order an inquiry into the Islamist phobia within the Conservative Party, which he and his Chancellor promised on state television.
