Congress MP Shashi Tharoor initiated a #ProudToBeMalayali trend on Twitter to refute TV anchor Arnab Goswami’s comment about the people of Kerala.
Goswami was lambasted on social media after a 30-second video clip of him purportedly calling "a group" the "most shameless bunch of Indians I have ever seen" went viral on social media.
Defending the people of Kerala, Tharoor tweeted: "Given the disgraceful attacks on Malayalis in general by some petty minds, it’s time for us to stand up for ourselves. Let’s evoke the reasons why we are #ProudToBeMalayali."
"The amazing response of solidarity and commitment to people in distress which we have seen in the face of colossal calamity makes me #ProudToBeMalayali," he added.
Following the trend, Twitterati too took to social media and shared their reasons for being a proud Malayali.
