New Delhi: Popular singer Shantanu Mukherjee, also known as Shaan by his stage name, slammed trollers who criticised him for wishing “Eid Mubarak” dressed in Muslim Attire. On April 22, singer Shaan shared a picture quoting Eid wishes, on Instagram wearing a skull cap as he wrote "Eid Mubarak to You and Your Family."

In the meantime, his beautiful gesture triggered some right-wingers who flocked social media platforms trolling him for wishing Eid Mubarak.They criticized him for dressing up in Muslim attire despite being a Hindu.

“I have to unfollow u”, a netizen said. 

“Ye muslim kab se ban gya, i thought he is Bengali”, another commented. (When did he become Muslim, i thought he is Bengali)

However, Shaan reacted to the hate and criticism received by trollers. In a video posted by Shaan soon after posting the ‘Eid Mubarak’ post, he said, he was disappointed by the mindset of trollers and did not expect this.

In the video, Shaan said he initially thought about ignoring the hateful comments but they continued, which led him to create the video to address and clarify the situation.

He clarified that the photo was captured three years ago from his music video titled Karam Karde.

“Usme ye Look Tha.. toh socha it goes with the occasion.. bas itni si baat” (It had this look, so I thought it goes well with the occasion), he wrote.

He further appealed to people to change their mindset and respect all religions. He also claimed that despite being a Hindu and proud Bhramin he was always taught to respect and celebrate all festivals.

"Since childhood, I was taught to celebrate all festivals and respect every religion. This is what I believe in and this is what every Indian should believe in too. Baaki aapki soch aapko Mubarak,"the singer said.

He referred to India as the “Mother of Democracy” and requested people to not have polarized thoughts as it only causes damage.

In the meantime, the video Shaan posted went viral on social media platforms and received lots of support and love from people. Netizens reshared the video on Twitter and praised him.

“Singer Shaan posted this pic on Eid. Right wingers started trolling him. He replied to those cheap trolls through  video post.

Shaan, full respect to you !”, a user wrote on Twitter.

“Kudos @singer_shaan for standing your ground…”, neitizen tweeted.

Netizens praised him for not bowing down to the internet and sticking to his principles.

Mysuru (Karnataka), Nov 13: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said there was a demand for four per cent reservation for Muslims in government tenders, but no decision has been taken yet on it.

Prominent Muslim leaders, including Karnataka Minister for Municipal Administration and Hajj, Rahim Khan, Congress MLAs and MLCs wrote to the chief minister on August 24 demanding to consider giving four per cent reservation to socially and economically backward Muslims in government contracts. The chief minister wrote on the petition on August 31 that the file should be put up, sources said.

"There was a demand for four per cent reservation, but we have not taken any decision yet," Siddaramaiah told reporters here.

When asked about the BJP raking up this issue, he said, "The BJP wants to communalise everything. Their job is to create a rift between Hindus and Muslims. Did they ever wish peace in society?"

BJP state president B Y Vijayendra termed the purported move unhealthy.

"In a bid to woo the Muslim community, the @INCKarnataka government is going to give reservation in contracts as well, which will damage the health of a harmonious society," he said in a post on ‘X’.

He said it had become inevitable to protest against such stances of the Congress government.

Former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar alleged in his post on social media 'X' saying what seemed like "shameless appeasement politics" to be a "cover for Congress corruption machine".
