In yet another incident of Islamophobia in Narendra Modi-ruled India, hijab-wearing women have been barred from entering a café in Delhi.
The incident unfolded at Marbia Cafe, located near Jamia Millia Islamia University in South Delhi, as reported by Kashmir Media Service.
The women, who regularly wore burqas to their workplace, attempted to reserve a table for lunch at the restaurant. Shockingly, they were informed by the restaurant staff that they would need to remove their burqas upon entry.
When the women questioned this discriminatory policy, they were informed that it was the restaurant's protocol not to permit any display of religious symbols. Refusing to compromise on their religious attire, the women were promptly escorted out of the establishment by the staff.
This incident has sparked outrage among affected individuals, who view the restaurant's policy as a blatant infringement upon their fundamental right to freedom of religion. They condemn the staff's behavior as indicative of the broader challenges faced by minority communities in the current political climate under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Furthermore, in a separate and equally disturbing development, it has come to light that the perpetrator responsible for the tragic assault and murder of a young girl was none other than her own uncle. This harrowing revelation adds another layer of concern regarding the safety and well-being of individuals, particularly vulnerable segments of society.
