Several political parties and NGO's have called for immediate action to be taken against Teleni.
CCF's Chief Executive Officer Reverend Akuila Yabaki said Teleni's directives to Indo-Fijian police officers undermines the basic human rights of Right to Equality and Freedom of Religion and Belief.
The Fiji NGO Coalition of Human Rights Chairperson Virisila Buadromo said Teleni's comments are discriminatory and he should step aside.
The SDL's Acting National Director Ted Young said Teleni should be sacked as his statements go against the wishes of the Interim Government to create a united Fiji.
The National Federation Party's General Secretary Pramod Rae has labelled Teleni's comments as shocking.
