YouTuber Paras Singh made several inappropriate comments towards the MLA.
Singh also commented that Ering did not sound like an Indian name. Later, he moved on to searching for Arunachal Pradesh on an Indian map.
“This is on China's side…. here it is in the corner. There are Chinese cities on top of it and around it, which means that this belongs to China. In a way, it is with them as it just touches India a little", the YouTuber claimed as he could not find the state on the map.
