Mumbai: A viral video has surfaced showing a Muslim woman being denied food at a charity stall outside a Tata Hospital in Mumbai for not chanting "Jai Shri Ram." The incident, which occurred at a temporary stall set up by an NGO to distribute free meals to patients and their families, has sparked widespread outrage online.
In the video, the woman is seen arguing with an elderly man at the stall, who insists she must chant "Jai Shri Ram" or leave the queue. The incident took place on Jerbai Wadia Road. The person recording the video questions the situation, and the man reiterates that food will only be provided if the woman complies with the chant.
As the video gained traction, it garnered over 300,000 views and hundreds of comments. Users have expressed their dismay at the situation, with one commenter stating, "The person's behavior is shameful. We should question which NGO this is, as their actions are completely disgraceful. Is this what Hinduism stands for?"
Another user added, "If someone refuses to chant what you want, they should still be provided food. This is unacceptable." A third commenter highlighted the inhumanity of the situation, stating, "This is an insult; no community should behave this way while distributing food to those in need."
In a second part of the video, a bystander asks the elderly man if he had chanted "Jai Shri Ram" to receive his meal. An individual, possibly hospital staff, intervenes, calling the insistence on such rules "unfair and wrong."
