An ACT MP believes she was targeted by a haka over the weekend. 

The haka, performed by former Te Pāti Māori president Che Wilson at a Waikato festival, appeared to mock Indian culture. 

Parmjeet Parmar wasn't at the event, but says she believes she was targeted - as she supports equal rights for Māori and immigrants. 

"I would say that it's deeply concerning, because it's not just about me, it's about the wider community as well. Any anti-migrant sentiment - that needs to be called out."
