Aam Aadmi Party leader and MLA Alka Lamba is facing heat from netizens after she made a offensive sounding remark for the Nepalese people. In what was intended to be a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Lamba said “Dear Indians, this time, please elect a Prime Minister. You can get a watchman to Nepal also. Watchmen from Nepal are not theives.”

The remarks did not go down well with Nepalese people, Nepali speaking Gorkha community of India and other Indians in general, who accused the leader of being racist. Many also remained Alka of the fact that many Nepali nationals serve in Indian army and protect the country’s borders as their own motherland.

#AlkaLamba– India's AAP MLA makes a statement hurting the sentiments of Nepalese.

'Let's appoint a PM. We can hire CHOWKIDARS from Nepal'. We demand an immediate apology from her. #alkalamba #AAP #India #Nepal — Jeetendra Khatiwoda (@heart_lives) March 12, 2019

This is not the first time when Alka Lamba has been in news for controversial reasons. Earlier last year, she had made headlines for accusing the AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal of removing her from WhatsApp groups of the party and unfollowing her on twitter.

Previously, when a fire had broken out in her constituency in Chadni Chowk, she had climbed up on the ladder of rescue team, delaying their operations and causing more damage to private properties and lives.
