Video of lady passenger in BMTC bus forces conductor to take off skull cap goes viral
Bengaluru: As a video of a woman passenger in a BMTC bus objecting to the conductor wearing a green skull cap and forcing him to take it off went viral on social media, netizens spoke up for the conductor as well as the lady.
A video of a woman passenger in a BMTC bus objecting to the conductor wearing a green skull cap and forcing him to take it off, which went viral on social media, drew mixed reactions from netizens.
“The government no doubt provides the uniform for its employees, but is this green skull caps too a part of the uniform?” the woman is heard asking the conductor, who, in turn, replied soberly. As the woman further questioned about the cap, however, the conductor took it off, saying he could do without wearing it.
While some Twitter users have supported the woman for ‘following the law’, many netizens have called her action moral policing. Some have even criticized her sharply for sharing the video of the incident on social media, thereby doubly shaming the conductor. “The BMTC should file a police complaint against the lady,” they have demanded.
“Amazed at the restraint of this conductor. What rule is this woman talking about? This is moral policing,” tweeted noted journalist Prajwal Bhat, tagging BMTC and the Bengaluru City Police.
Congress leader Lavanya Ballal has tweeted, “All women must take advantage of the Shakti scheme. Please stop harassing the employees busy at work. It’s unnecessary and it’s moral policing. We have brought this issue to the notice of our transportation minister Ramalinga Reddy.”
A third Twitter user has urged the government not to turn a blind eye towards such acts of harassment but to take action against the ‘hate-mongering’ lady.
