Oz radio host apologises for anti-Ganga, anti-India remarks

An Australian radio show host has apologised to the Hindu community over his alleged derogatory remarks on India and her holy river the Ganges.

'Australia's Got Talent' judge Kyle Sandilands recently termed the Ganges as 'a junkyard' and India as 'a s---hole'.

Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, pushed the Australian Media and Communications Authority to take 'appropriate action' over the vulgar remark.

Certainly reeling under the heat, now the 'Hour of Power Fox FM' favourite has decisively apologised for his uncouth remarks, claiming that he loves Indians.

"I'm apologising. Anyone that's Indian that listens to this show knows that I love Indians ... I don't discriminate. I love everyone," the Courier Mail quoted him as saying.

"I just made the mistake that the river, which, to me, looks polluted, I said it was a junkyard and I did not realise that it was holy," he added.
