What did Red FM RJ Nitin actually utter in his program about Nepali or Gurkha community or to be specifically to Indian Idol Prashant Tamang? The Radio Jockey described Indian Idol Prashant Tamang as '‘chowkidwar se Indian Idol’'. He moreover said, “shopkeepers will now have to make their own security arrangements as Gorkhas have taken to singing.”
Verbatim from Red FM Radio Jockey (RJ) on Indian Idol Prashant Tamang 
“Aaaj Prashant Tamang ‘Nepali ladka from Darjeeling’ [Today Prashant Tamang, Nepali boy from Darjeeling] has become Indian Idol [laughs sarcastically] and we have a [cricket] match tonight so we need to guard our house / malls / restaurants by ourselves as there will be no Nepali people to guard these place and whole night we need to say Jagtay Raho [stay awake].” The RJ also added that all the Footpath Momo shops will remain closed as Nepali guy has become Indian Idol.
Asks activist, Rashmi Deewan, He should be pulled off air. How can he stereotype us (Gorkhas) like this? Does he know what Gorkhas have done for the country?”

My question is how dares Nitin insulting Gorkha/Nepali community like this. This is not a question of whether someone is having sense of humor or not. Will he dare to poke joke on other Indian communities?
I received many a calls from my Nepali friends who work in Delhi BPOs. Nepalis residing in Delhi and working in call centers are planning to take the issue further and they will walk a peaceful protest on either Saturday or Sunday wearing black badge.
While in Delhi I used to listen to this Red FM RJ Nitin, he considers himself a star material, he speaks as if he is favoring someone, while speaking he rarely pronounces the word completely or strongly, it seems there going a constant fight between his upper and lower lips. Sounds like P, B, M, Bh, V never came clear from him.
Nitin's comments were really uncalled for. He said sorry but I wonder if that is enough. Because Nitin keeps on making fun of people's sensibilities from time to time. He discriminates one race, one language against another.
Ok, guys, media has been cleverly hiding Nitin from the incident and instead of calling him Nitin, calling him by Jonathan Brady. Good PR execrise, Nitin and Red FM.
