JAIPUR: The Jaipur literature festival today witnessed fireworks after political critic Ashis Nandy made a controversial comment on corruption and people belonging to OBC, SC and ST communities which drew a strong response from the audience.

At a panel discussion at the festival, Nandy said, “Most corrupt people come from OBC, SC and ST communities”.

Journalist Ashutosh, who was among the panelists, and most members from the audience took strong exception to the statement.

“This is the most bizarre statement I have heard. The Brahmins and the upper cast can do away with all the corruption but when a low caste person emulates the same thing it becomes so wrong. Such statement is not right,” he said.

“Most of the people who are doing corruption are people from OBC, SC and ST communities and as long as it remains Indian republic will survive,” Nandy said. His comments were met with boos from the audience.''
