Video of Hijab-clad woman denied free food for refusing to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’

A hijab-clad Muslim woman was denied free food by a distributor for refusing to chant the slogan “Jai Shri Ram.”

The incident occurred outside Mumbai’s Tata Hospital. It was captured on video and has since gone viral on social media, prompting widespread condemnation of the distributor’s actions.

The food distribution, conducted by a non-governmental organization (NGO) on Jerbai Wadia Road near Tata Hospital, aimed to provide meals to patients and their families. As the woman waited in line, the distributor demanded



that she chant “Jai Shri Ram” before receiving her meal. When she declined to comply, he ordered her to leave the queue, insisting she would not be served unless she repeated the slogan.
