Bengaluru: Woman denied house on rent for being Muslim
Bengaluru: A Muslim woman has accused two house owners of discrimination on the basis of her religion in the state capital. The woman has complained that two Bengaluru-based landlords allegedly refused to rent out their premises to her family when they got to know that she is a Muslim.
A woman, co-founder of an organization, revealed this through posts on social networking sites. As per her post, she found two houses matching her family's requirements through a website and contact their owners. But they allegedly refused to rent out their houses to her.
In her tweet, she said "I am denied 2 houses in Bangalore for rent for my family because we are Muslims. Only a fanatic & irrational Hindu house owner can judge me without even talking to me. @nestawayhomes -you were the one who did #HomesThat-DontDiscriminate campaign. It seems that it was just a gimmick!"
She further wrote, "What an irony that I am not finding a "house" in my own "home country". I would like to invite more of my Hindu friends to engage in this conversation. I'm keen to understand your point of view."
However, the post has gone viral and drawn flak on social media. Twitterati and Facebook users have criticized the house owners and demanded the online agency to take appropriate action.

Defeated delimitation bill in Parliament to defend idea of India: Cong leader Rahul Gandhi
Chennai (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the opposition parties defeated the delimitation bill in the Parliament on Friday to defend the "idea of India."
Addressing a poll rally at Ponneri here, he said the BJP-led government at the Centre brought a new bill on April 16, and said they were trying to pass the women's bill, which he said was passed in 2023.
"In the so-called Women's Bill, delimitation was hidden. The idea was to reduce Tamil Nadu's representation in the Union of India... the delimitation move by BJP was to weaken the strength of southern states, small states, north eastern states," he alleged.
"We defeated in Parliament, a bill in which delimitation was hidden; we defeated it to defend the idea of India."
Rahul added that India that is Bharat, is a union of states, and every single state should have a voice, be free to express itself, and protect its tradition.
