US Conservative politician Chandler Langevin from Florida’s Palm Bay City Council has come under fire for his controversial remarks against Indians in the United States, after the city council censured him for alleged hate speech.

Langevin had sparked widespread outrage among Indian American groups, members of Congress and local residents with a flurry of social media posts calling for the mass deportations of Indians. He said Indians come to the US to “drain our pockets" and then return to India, “or worse… to stay."

On Thursday, Langevin’s fellow council members voted 3-2 to censure him after residents and national Indian American groups flooded meetings at Palm Bay’s city council chambers, denouncing his remarks and demanding his resignation, according to The Washington Post.
