Prasad Denies Charging That Catalpa Park Social Media Opposition Is Race-Based

August 12, 2015 Township Council

8-11-15 Meeting29 — Township Councilman Rajiv Prasad (D-At Large) listens to public comments during the Aug. 11 council meeting.

A township councilman on Aug. 11 denied that he told the Human Relations Commission that a social media group’s opposition to Catalpa Park is race-based, and said that as an Indian-American, it is “impossible” for him to inject race into any discussion.

During his statement, Councilman Rajiv Prasad (D-At Large) denied making any of the statements that led the commission to write a letter denouncing the allegedly “racially insensitive language” used by some posters to a Facebook page called “Tranquility Protection Alliance of Franklin Township NJ.”
