NEW DELHI: India has called upon all democratic forces in the world to condemn the promulgation of the constitution in Fiji which was “racist and undemocratic in content and character.”
An external affairs ministry spokesman here said, the “worst fears of the Indian government about the evil intentions of the illegal regime now in power in Fiji have been confirmed with the promulgation of a constitution which were more racist and undemocratic in content and character than even the widely criticized original draft.”
The time has come, the spokesman said, to decide ways to isolate the illegal regime there and defeat its attempt to impose this new form of racism.
India, he said, expressed its total, “abhorrence of this action of the discredited usurper regime.” At a time when racism is on the decline, even in South Africa this institutionalization of racism, similar in character to the humiliating system of apartheid sets the clock back of human civilisation,” he said.
