Muslim woman denied free food outside Mumbai hospital after she refused to chant Jai Shri Ram : Valley Vision

A Muslim woman was denied free food distributed to patients and their relatives outside Mumbai’s Tata Hospital because she refused to obey the distributor’s demand to chant the Hindutva war cry “Jai Shri Ram.”

A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, sparking outrage over the distributor’s Islamophobic toward the Muslim woman.

The food was being distributed by an NGO near Tata Hospital on Jerbai Wadia Road.

The Muslim woman was standing in line for free food. The man distributing the food saw her and told her to leave the queue. He demanded that she first chant “Jai Shri Ram” before receiving food. When she refused, he told her she would not receive food if she did not say the Hindutva slogan.

“Jisko Ram nahin bolna hai line me khada nahi ho” (Those who won’t say Ram should not stand in line) he says in the video.

He then asks the Muslim woman to leave, saying, “Laat marunga” (I’ll kick you), as she responds that she isn’t standing on his father’s property.

Though local police were informed about the incident, no action has been taken against the distributor.
