Controversy

On 19 February 2011, Ninong Ering allegedly criticized the anti-corruption drive of Indian religious leader Swami Ramdev and referred to him as a "bloody Indian dog".^[2] The Bharatiya Janata Party criticized the remarks, stating that Ramdev was a revered figure.^[3] The Congress party claimed that it had asked for explanation from Ering on this matter.^[2]

Although Ramdev and the media allegedly blamed Ninong Ering for calling him a "bloddy indian dog", no evidence was shown on this report. In an Interview with Ninong Ering, he denied that remark made and asked for video evidence which the media was unable to show due to "mysterious" circumstances.
