An Australian radio show host facing criticism for using a derogatory word against India and calling river Ganga a “junkyard” has issued an apology. Times of India quoted the Council of Indian-Australians president Yadu Singh as saying: “I am pleased to report that Sydney’s 2Day FM Radio station and (host) Kyle Sandilands have realised the mistake in their comments and issued an apology. Singh said Kyle, in his apology note, had stated: “‘I’m apologising… anyone that’s Indian, that listens to this show, knows that I love Indians… I don’t discriminate. I love everyone. I don’t care where they are, where they are from, what colour they are. “‘I just made the mistake that the river which, to me, looks polluted, I said it was a junkyard and I did not realise it was holy.'”
