Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has reacted to former Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress Sam Pitroda's 'people in East India look like Chinese, people in South look like Africans' remark. He said, "I looked at myself in the mirror and I appear as a proud Assamese...not as a Chinese." "Pitroda is Rahul Gandhi's friend, philosopher and guide," Sarma added.
