Modi's Gujarat: All is NOT well, apparently!
Came across a news item involving something that
made me feel ashamed that such a thing is happening in my country:
Apparently, a shopping mall in Gujarat actually
introduced an entry fee of Rs. 20/= on EID Day. You'll perhaps start saying that
there's nothing wrong in it. But wait! This entry fee was applicable exclusively
to MUSLIMS and not to any other person who wished to enter the mall!
First and foremost, I hope and pray that the above
news item is completely false. That would make me guilty of spreading rumours.
In which case, I will gladly admit my mistake and apologise.
However, if it happens to be true, it is certainly
a new depth at unacceptable discrimination.
Will someone tell me as to whether any action is
being contemplated to prevent such blatant acts of discrimination?
Regards,
Thank God that I was mistaken. Apparently, the news item was, shall we say, short on facts!
ReplyDeleteTake a look at this tweet from Rajdeep Sardesai:

And also see (https://www.facebook.com/salabhak/posts/645757012101075)
Both the above sources claim that there was no such problem of discrimination based on any religion, caste, etc.
Thanks a ton to all my friends who pointed it out to me.
