ACT MP Dr Parmjeet Parmar says it appears the leader of the New Zealand First Party is using racism for political gain ahead of the upcoming general election.

Speaking to Radio Tarana host Sanjesh Narain, Dr Parmar said racism cannot be tolerated under any circumstances and that New Zealanders must speak out against it whenever it occurs. She said it is important for political leaders and the public alike to be vocal in opposing racism.
