As PM Narendra Modi arrived in Buenos Aires for the G-20 summit, he got quite a surprise welcome from an Argentine news channel.
According to a report by BBC, Cronica TV displayed an image of the Simson's character 'Apu' as PM Modi.
The headline read "Apu arrives" as Narendra Modi set foot for the G-20 Summit.
Many users found the portrayal racist and took to Twitter to express their anger.
The character has been under fire for being a racial stereotype.
Indian-American comic Hari Kondabolu had made a documentary, 'The Problem With Apu,' in 2017 arguing that the character of Apu was racist.
He tweeted in response to Cronica's use of the character:
Twitter users criticised the Argentian news channel for being a racist and not respecting the Prime Minister of India.
Other than PM Modi, French President Immanuel Macron was received by SBS News as the Argentina delegation could not make it on time.
