NEW DELHI: In yet another shocking case of religious discrimination, an aged Muslim man was denied a seat in Delhi metro by a group of Hindu youth, who hurled slurs and abuses at him over his appearance. The incident took place in the violet line of Delhi Metro, where the young men turned down the request of a senior citizen of vacating a seat and told him to go to Pakistan if he wishes to get a seat in the coach.

The incident came to light after women’s right activist Kavita Krishnan unfolded this shameful incident in her Facebook post.

According to the post, the National Secretary of AICCTU, Santosh Roy, intervened and came forward in support of the old man. When Roy asked the young men to apologise to the man, they refused and also held Roy by his collar and allegedly told him to “Go to Pakistan”.—INP
