(RENO) - Hindus are critical of Italy for reportedly continuous racial abuse suffered by country’s first black minister Cecile Kyenge.

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, pointed out that country of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Puccini, Verdi and Federico Fellini; should show some maturity and civility.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, said that Italian President Giorgio Napolitano and Prime Minister Enrico Letta should publicly apologize for this blatant and reprehensible display of racism in Italian politics and extend their unconditional support to Kyenge.

Rajan Zed further said that His Holiness Pope Francis, being the acclaimed representative of God on earth and based just next door in Vatican, should also raise his voice on this issue as we were all equal in the eyes of God.
