After Paul Henry's offensive 'Dikshit' joke triggered off a diplomatic row between Wellington and New Delhi, a New Zealand radio presenter has stirred fresh controversy by calling Indian-origin Governor General Anand Satyanand as a "large, fat man", and commenting that his physique was "slightly incongruous" for an Indian.

The 'DIKSHIT' joke was in very bad taste and this concerned us as the offense related to our chief Minister. The New Zealand radio presentation is also bad enough but this is not so relevant to us. The Governor General may be of India origin but he belongs to them and we need not bother. We need not bother about foreign nationals even if they are of Indian origin.
I think we need to be sensitive but not touchy!Certain things are best ignored to move on in life!
Commenting in such a way is the duty of anchors and if they think that joking in such a manner can improve their reputation it is just foolishness as someother day they may have to face the reciprocated comments for the other side...

I think even Pakistan cricket InZamman-ul -haq was called by someone as pototoe and he attacked the person immediately which gave him nothing but a title of arrogant..Depending on severity one should react..

However, insulting any persons name, country should not be allowed in any way.
