A rice farmer of Dreketi has told Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum that a government minister had allegedly asked him whether something was wrong with him as he was wearing a sulu vakataga.

The issue was raised with Sayed-Khaiyum during a talanoa session in Dreketi.

The rice farmer who is also a teacher in the North told Sayed-Khaiyum that the alleged incident happened after the last elections.

The man who is a Fijian of Indian descent says he then told the Minister that there is nothing wrong with wearing the sulu as the current government wants everyone to live as one.

He further told Sayed-Khaiyum that the Government Minister had also asked him whether the Fijian people will like him if he will wear a sulu.

The rice farmer says he is a man of two cultures and has been working with Fijians for long.

We have sent questions to Sayed-Khaiyum and asked what actions will be taken based on allegations made by the rice farmer.
